Windows Presentation Foundation<br />Now in it’s third release: 3.0, 3.5, 3.5 SP1<br />Highly stable platform for rich client applications<br />Many bug fixes and supplemental features<br />Browser control added in 3.5 SP1<br />Performance optimizations – especially cold start-up<br />Some mixed messages on it’s initial release<br />WinForms is dead, no further development – not true!<br />Backtrack – WPF isn’t really suitable for LOB – was true!<br />Tooling not good enough for RAD of LOB apps – was true!<br />WPF is moving into mainstream LOB<br />WPF Toolkit available on codeplex includes:<br />DataGrid, Ribbon, Calendar/Date Picker, Visual State manager.<br />WPF 4.0 primary goal is LOB applications<br />

6.
Primary features of WPF<br />Vector based graphics, resolution-independent DPI <br />Composition engine – allows nesting of all controls<br />Unified programming model for 2D, 3D, and Media<br />Declarative programming model with XAML<br />Support different types of layout<br />High degree of control over styling<br />Built-in support for DataBinding<br />Deploy through browser (XBAP)<br />Interop with WinForms<br />

Differences between Silverlight & WPF<br />What’s common<br />XAML, CLR, C#, VB.NET<br />What’s not – most other things<br />Full fidelity .NET in WPF<br />Subset in Silverlight 2.0<br />Namespaces<br />Navigation<br />Controls, properties, methods, events<br />Security model<br />Data binding<br />Localisation<br />Resources<br />Some things are different for a reason<br />Isolated storage, File Dialog, HTML DOM, etc.<br />

18.
WPF and Silverlight applications<br />The paradigm shift<br />WPF not a natural fit for a WinForms, VB6, MFC developer that has grown up on GDI/User32<br />XAML mark-up language more familiar to Web developers<br />Visual Studio 2008 and Expression Blend generate XAML<br />WPF/Silverlight/XBAP – too many options?<br />Decision is much simpler than you think<br />If you develop and deploy WinForms applications today<br />WPF is the natural choice – full fidelity .NET<br />If you develop WinForms applications and deployment is a problem, then XBAP could be the answer<br />Restricted to browser sandbox – full fidelity .NET<br />If you target the browser today and are moving to RIA<br />Silverlight is the natural next step<br />

19.
WPF versus XBAP versus Silverlight<br />WPF applications are installed, MSI or ClickOnce<br />Full access to local machine, full-trust, full .NET Framework<br />Can support any off-line capability you have<br />Interact with other applications<br />.NET Framework can be packaged with your MSI<br />XBAP<br />Requires full .NET Framework 3.x to be pre-installed<br />Is a full WPF application apart from deployment mechanism<br />Deployed and run in browser sandbox<br />Silverlight 2.0<br />Completely separate .NET runtime, no binary compatibility<br />Deployed through a Web page and interacts with Web page<br />Requires Silverlight 2.0 browser plug-in<br />

.NET Client profile<br />Full .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework now 231Mb!<br />Subset of the full .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 <br />Just 26Mb in total<br />Targets Windows XP SP2<br />Includes client specific assemblies, such as WPF, WCF, WinForms, ClickOnce, XML, LINQ, System.Data, etc.<br />Does not include ASP.NET, WF, and other server-side assemblies.<br />Target through App.config and Deployment.xml<br />Customizable deployment UI<br />Configurable through Visual Studio<br />
