This book is the definitive guide to Microsoft's latest programming interface for client applications. Get expert guidance for using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and C# to create interfaces for Microsoft Windows Vista applications. In this book, Windows programming legend Charles Petzold covers in parallel the two interfaces that make up the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). From the outset, the reader can shift focus seamlessly between Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and C# to see them as flip sides of the same processes. Beginning in the first chapter, Petzold presents the general syntax of the XAML and corresponding programming code with numerous illuminating examples on how the two correspond and interrelate. The book builds on this base, providing the classic Petzold Windows user interface (UI) treatment, to show Windows developers how to create next-generation interfaces for their applications. The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly code-named 'Avalon' and abbreviated as WPF) provides the foundation for building applications and high-fidelity experiences in Windows Vista, blending together application UI, documents, and media content while exploiting the full power of the user's computer. The functionality extends to the support for Tablet PC and other forms of input, a more modern imaging and printing pipeline, accessibility and UI automation infrastructure, data-driven UI and visualization, as well as the integration points for weaving the application experience into the Windows shell. WPF is a feature of WinFX, a superset of the Microsoft .NET Framework, designed to expose the new functionality in Windows Vista to thedeveloper through managed classes.

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 specifically with WPF, and explains to readers what it is, how it can be used and how it fits into the wider picture of new WinFX technologies. Readers are quickly brought up to speed with the new coding techniques and processes they need for successful WPF coding, before being given a thorough practical grounding in how the technologies can be used. By the end of the book readers will be able to start creating WPF-enabled applications for themselves.Microsoft Expression Blend Bible (Bible)

The initial chapters convey the general concepts and technical boundaries of the framework. That is, what the WPF is, and how to use it. Next, we dive into creating the basic application with ASP.NET or VB and the WPF. Basic examples might include a basic animated window prompt or sequence of control manipulation using each of the 3 Microsoft Expression tools, (Web, Graphic, and Interactive Designers). We would lay the groundwork for development of very exciting and appealing graphics and animated structures using the ever-so-addictive .NET development environment. At this point we hope the user would engage in the buzz of the technology, having skimmed through the first few sections of the book in the bookstore or online abstract writeup. We then immediately dig into the methodical approach to developing solid WPF web applications, using the Expression Interactive Designer (the Flash-killer) as the people-pleasing startup to the developer’ s roadmap for learning this graphic and UI-centric framework. This provides the reader with the best and most attractive way to quickly learn how to develop a next-generation application on the new expansive .NET 2.0 platform using the WPF. The book also provides the reader walk-throughs of the object models, built-in server controls, HTML Markup, code-behind, and the coordinative structure of each file. Additionally, the book provides extensive best-practices for Enterprise Architectures using the WPF and its underlying technology base. These enterprise application models include the high level design, flow of page and form events, standardizing the approach to rendering graphics, templates for storyboards andcontrols, and even tie the reader into sister technologies, such as using Visual Studio 2005 Team System to provide an enterprise-grade process for team development. The final section would be a look at the more advanced topics in the framework and platform, covering topics such as Ajax/Atlas examples, security, deployment, winFX, Win32, Indigo, and others. The book closes with a few case studies that provide a standard sample application with both a web-based and desktop-based deployment mode, using the model-view-controller pattern, among others.

If you want to build applications that take full advantage of Windows Vista's new user interface capabilities, you need to learn Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This new edition, fully updated for the official release of .NET 3.0, is designed to get you up to speed on this technology quickly. By page 2, you'll be writing a simple WPF application. By the end of Chapter 1, you'll have taken a complete tour of WPF and its major elements. WPF is the new presentation framework for Windows Vista that also works with Windows XP. It's a cornucopia of new technologies, which includes a new graphics engine that supports 3-D graphics, animation, and more; an XML-based markup language, called XAML, for declaring the structure of your Windows UI; and a radical new model for controls. This second edition includes new chapters on printing, XPS, 3-D, navigation, text and documents, along with a new appendix that covers Microsoft's new WPF/E platform for delivering richer UI through standard web browsers — much like Adobe Flash. Content from the first edition has been significantly expanded and modified. Programming WPF includes: * Scores of C# and XAML examples that show you what it takes to get a WPF application up and running, from a simple 'Hello, Avalon' program to a tic-tac-toe game * Insightful discussions of the powerful new programming styles that WPF brings to Windows development, especially its new model for controls * A color insert to better illustrate WPF support for 3-D, color, and other graphics effects * A tutorial on XAML, the new HTML-like markup language for declaring Windows UI * An explanation and comparison of the features that support interoperability with Windows Forms and other Windows legacy applications WPF represents the best of the control-based Windows world and the content-based web world. Programming WPF helps you bring it all together.
