Very informative.  I was looking into learning WPF - but jeez, what happened to RAD?  It takes all this to create a simple Master/Detail form?

Maybe since I know nothing of WPF, I'm prejudging.  But I would figure since it's a "moving forward" tech, that it would be as simple as dragging/dropping a few controls, and setting up everything with the Properties box.

Oh well, think I'll just stick to Windows Apps, and ASP.NET LOL.

Excellent video, though.  Lots of explanation and detail.

Thanks for the video and the code. A lot became clear to me. I used your code to make my own m-v-vm program. The link where I try to explain what I did is below:

Not everything works perfect yet, it's just a first attempt. I'm a beginner with wpf and still learning.

I was about to say a lot about this, I erased my original message though before posting it, knowing Americans are very sensitive to European Comments.

Just one word comes to mind "Deception". RAD died in the RAT race. We back to square one, the stone age of SW development. Major bummer. I know you do the best you can Beth, but if these are the tools we have to work with, as an alternative to the best tool MS ever had, then this world is becoming a dark and unfriendly place for software developers.

Its very intimidating to watch all these new classes, constructs, bindings, templates and wiring up all together. Nothing personal to you, Beth, you did great in what you could for the task in hand.

I started with VB 2.0 where everything was straight forward and simple to learn and memorize. No matter how many wpf videos I watch, I feel inadequate choosing right constructs, styles, event handling, binding, etc. It seems like there are million varieties in each categories and all those can be mixed up in million ways. I'm just lost!

Hi Beth,

I really like and appreciate your presentations, they are very helpful.  But would you still use the same markup and VB code with VS 2010, WPF and Entity Framework to build this window, or is there a better way?
