10. 4 What’s Windows Presentation
Foundation?

11. What’s Windows Presentation Foundation?
 The Windows Presentation Foundation is Microsoft’s
next generation UI framework to create applications with
a rich user experience. It is part of the .NET framework
3.0 and higher.
 WPF combines application UIs, 2D graphics, 3D
graphics, documents and multimedia into one single
framework.
 Its vector based rendering engine uses hardware
acceleration of modern graphic cards. This makes the
UI faster, scalable and resolution independent.

12. What’s Windows Presentation Foundation?
 Next generation presentation subsystem for Windows
 Unified programming model
 Harness the power of new graphics hardware
 Provide designers direct input into project development
 Enables developers and designers to create visually
stunning user interfaces

13. WPF: Using the Hardware
 Vector-based composition engine uses the PC’s graphics
power
 Quality is preserved with scale
 CPU freed from graphics work
 Gain capability from graphics card advances

14. 5 What type of Applications can
be built

15. What type of Applications can be built
 WPF intended to replace both webforms and windows
forms – apps can be built to run in a browser or a
standalone window
 Windows forms and WPF pages/windows can co-exist in
the same application
 One WPF page/window can have both types of controls
on it
 A new type of web application called XAML Browser
Application XBAP (formerly Web Browser Application
WBA)

16. What do the applications look like
 WPF intended to replace both webforms and windows
forms – apps can be built to run in a browser or a
standalone window
 Windows forms and WPF pages/windows can co-exist
in the same application
 One WPF page/window can have both types of controls
on it
 A new type of web application called XAML Browser
Application XBAP (formerly Web Browser Application
WBA)

17. 6 Why use WPF?

18. Why use WPF?
 WPF is an especially great platform to use if your
applications involve various media types.If you need to
incorporate video, or documents, 3D content and
animated transitions between a sequence of images, or
a combination of any of the above.
 WPF is also great if you need to create a skinned user
interface, or if you need to bind to XML data, or
dynamically load portions of a user interface from a
Web service, or want to create a desktop application
with a Web-like navigation style.

19. 7 How can I make it to do that?

20. How can I make it do that?
XAML = Extensible Application Markup
Language
• Easily toolable, declarative markup
• Code and content are separate
• Can be rendered in the browser / standalone application
XAML C# VB.NET
<Button Width="100"> OK Button b1 = new Button(); Dim b1 As New Button
<Button.Background> b1.Content = "OK"; b1.Content = "OK"
LightBlue b1.Background = new b1.Background = New _
</Button.Background> SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue); SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue)
</Button> b1.Width = 100; b1.Width = 100

21. 8 Advantages of WPF?

22. Advantages of WPF?
 The ability to make very rich UIs relatively easily.
 Easier animation and special effects
 Inherent scalability
 WPF builds on DirectX rather than WinAPI, harnessing
the power of the client computer's graphics system thus
giving much greater graphic rendering power
 WPF uses a vector graphics system which means UIs are
completely re-sizeable without loss of quality
 WPF supports flow document model that gives a
'desktop publishing' quality of layout
 Supports ‘rich data visualisation’

23. 9 Disadvantages of WPF?

24. Disadvantages of WPF?
 WPF will not run on windows 2000 or lower.
 WPF's in-box control suite is far more limited than that
of WinForms.
