Windows Presentation Foundations (WPF), formerly code-named Avalon, is part of a suite of new technologies collectively known as ‘The WinFX stack’. The suite, coupled with 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. This book explains what WPF 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, and receive a thorough practical grounding in how the technologies can be used.
