For years, .NET developers have created Windows applications with the Windows Forms toolkit. And thoughWindows Forms is mature and reasonably full-featured, it's hardwired to essential bits of Windows plumbing that haven't changed much in the past ten years. As a result, some tasks that should be easy require a lot of work. .
The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) changes all this by introducing a new model with entirely different plumbing. Although WPF includes the standard controls you're familiar with, it draws every detail itself, using the high-performance DirectX engine. As a result, WPF can provide a whole host of eye-popping new features, all of which we'll cover in this book. For example, we'll give common controls like buttons a slick, customized look without writing a line of code. Similarly, we will craft animated effects that rotate, stretch, scale, and skew anything in your user interface right before the user's eyes. Tasks that would have been difficult or nearly impossible in Windows Forms--such as playing media files or creating texture-mapped 3-D shapes--are finally possible. By the time you've finished this book, you'll have mastered these previously impossible tasks. ..
Although WPF's video, animation, and 3-D features get the most hype, WPF is just as useful for building business applications that don't need rich graphics. We'll cover WPF's enhancements of key business features such as data binding, print management, and document display, giving you all you need to create professional business applications in WPF. ...
