Chapter 35. WPF Applications

The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is one of the most significant pieces of technology to be released when it comes to building rich user interface applications. Unlike previous revisions of Windows Forms, WPF has been written entirely from the ground up to make use of vector graphics and overcome some of the limitations so often encountered with Windows Forms development.

This chapter won't attempt to cover in any detail the WPF framework. Instead, what you will see is an overview of Visual Studio 2008 capabilities to help you rapidly build user interfaces.
