Beschreibung
Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF), formerly code-named Avalon, is part of a suite of new technologies collectively known as The WinFX stack. This suite, coupled with new ancillary technologies such as XAML and LINQ provides a powerful addition to the.NET 2.0 Framework for creating applications for Windows Vista, and WinFX-enabled Windows XP computers. These technologies have been eagerly awaited, and demand for them is going to be very high within the Windows programming community. This book deals exclusively with WPF, explaining what it is, how it can be used and how it fits into the wider picture of new WinFX technologies. Readers get quickly up to speed with new coding techniques and processes needed for successful WPF coding, then receive a thorough practical grounding in how the technologies can be used. By the end of the book readers will be creating WPF-enabled applications for themselves.
