Building A Real World WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) Application: QMSDNUG Feb Meeting

Mon 19 Feb 2007

Qld MSDN User GroupJoseph Cooney, speaking on
“Building A Real World WPF Application”.

For the last 7 months Joseph has been building a non-trivial application in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) in his “spare time”. During this time he has also developed a number of proof-of-concepts in WPF. In this talk he will share his experiences developing with this new platform.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Choosing an application type & deployment strategy, and how the choices you make at this early stage determine what features of WPF you should and should not use.
  • Structuring your WPF project in Visual Studio - what kind of artefacts you will probably want to create, and where you should put them.
  • Choosing between doing things in XAML and doing things in C#/VB.NET
  • Doing things on Background Threads
  • Troubleshooting WPF Performance issues - some starting points
