WPF applications are similar in concept to Windows Forms applications in many respects. Both display a form or window that contains controls. Controls in both systems provide properties, methods, and events that determine the control's appearance and behavior.
This article will demonstrate how to create the Navigation Based Windows Application in WPF.
This document describes a step-by-step solution to some general problems a developer faces in a WPF application.
Developing a WPF application with a rich user experience requires a lot more skills than just a requirements analyst that defines a list of use cases and developer that implements the software. You have to find out what the user really needs. This can be done by following a user centered approach.
In this article we will go through FAQ's from the WPF section. We will start first with understanding why WPF..? Later we will create a small sample hello world project for WPF which will make us understand WPF much better.
Before the .NET Framework application settings were saved in INI files and the Windows Registry. But the .NET Framework introduced a much easier way using an XML file. The file has the name of the Assembly and a .exe.config extension, and is placed inside the application’s folder. This way is cleaner because when an application is uninstalled or deleted the end user does not have to worry about left over registry keys or INI files in the Windows directory.
Popups are useful to display additional information. In this article we are going to learn how to create Popups in Windows Presentation Foundation.
WPF databinding simplyfies many complex operations and allows to achieve the result by only using the XAML code. In this article we will demonstrate how to use a custom dependency property in a databinding operation inside a user control.
Architecting, designing and implementing services and clients for public safety is a very special and hard challenge. One equally true aspect for all applications in this landscape is that they need to be always responsive and failsave in ways that failure of one part of the system may not have any effects on other parts of the system.
In this whitepaper we discuss some of the most important decisions Frequentis had to make for the solution-architecture of applications in the maritime-landscape by combining some important patterns such as command, job, queue or even the presentation model on the WPF-based client and the WCF-based services layer!
This article shows you what the Composite WPF provides and how to use it to build your WPF applications.
This article shows a prototype implementation of the Mediator design pattern, intended to be used in WPF and, possibly, Silverlight applications.
In this article I am explaining controls, Layout Panels, and Graphics primitives.
This article focuses on two very important items in the list of new WPF elements to master. These items—routed events and routed commands—are related to each other.
WPF features a different data binding model than its predecessor. In WPF, it's possible to keep track of changes at both the source and destination level. To leverage this feature, certain requirements must be met for objects to take advantage of this change notification, all of which will be discussed in this article, all within the context of using LINQ and the LINQ to SQL designer.
This article demonstrates how data templates, commands, data binding, the resource system, and the MVVM pattern all fit together to create a simple, testable, robust framework on which any WPF application can thrive.
