WPF Application Development

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is the next generation platform for making (user interfaces) UIs with the Microsoft DotNet Framework (Microsoft .NET Framework). With the use of WPF, developers / programmers and designers can make various types of programs that are data-driven, dynamic and visually attracting very easily. The Windows Presentation Foundation, WPF, provides a unified framework for building applications and high-fidelity experiences in Windows that blend application UI, documents, and media content. WPF offers developers 2D and 3D graphics support, hardware-accelerated effects, scalability to different form factors, interactive data visualization, and superior content readability.

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) allows developers to create stunning new Microsoft Windows client applications and interfaces using controls, layout, resources, data binding, styling, graphics, animation and more), 3D graphics, speech, audio/video, documents, bitmap effects, how to create user interface (UI) elements, how to create UI mechanisms, how to develop and deploy applications, how to create custom controls for WPF, how to create WPF software, and how to use the Windows Vista features in WPF applications.

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) offers an integrated framework for establishing applications & high-fidelity experiences in Windows. With the Use of single WPF programming model to write code one time and deploy it as a complete installed application.

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) features:

• Great applications can be made in less time.
• Client Profile enables quicker redistribution (with a smaller download)
• 2D graphics and 3D graphics and hardware quickened effects
• XAML (Developer and Designer can work independently)
• Common file format (XAML) permitting developers / programmers and designers to collaborate
• Measurability to different form components
• Data binding, Controls, and extensible enable developers to rapidly build high-fidelity applications
• Effective use of Graphics card. It is highly desirable for high end / upcoming computers
• Can create 3D effects (scenes) very quickly and easily. (Using ViewPort3D)
• Built in Animation
• Different Templates & Styles
• Resource management
• Content control mechanism.
• XBAP (AML browser applications)
• Silverlight (WPF/e)
• Same programming model for web & windows system
• Retained mode graphics
