Windows Presentation Foundation is a computer-software graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications. WPF applications can be deployed as standalone desktop programs, or hosted as an embedded object in a website. It also aims to unify a number of common user interface elements, such as 2D/3D rendering, fixed and adaptive documents.
Windows Presentation Foundation 4.5 Cookbook, takes a deep dive on various WPF techniques of performing lengthy operations asynchronously while keeping the UI responsive, customizing a control’s template to alter appearance but preserve behaviour and leverage the MVVM pattern to build decoupled and maintainable apps.
Furthermore, well explained illustrations, diagrams and tips filled with real world examples will help readers maximize their productivity and get well-versed with WPF features of data binding, layout, resources, templates, and styles.
