    9. Understanding WPF

    10. POLL: What is your experience level with WPF?

    11. The Problems with WinForms Built on “ancient” programming framework GDI+, USER32 Poor use of modern computing hardware Inflexible UI Hard to build custom application UX Hard to integrate media Dying technology WPF built as replacement (eventually will) OpenGL included in WindowsNT, designed for “more powerful computer”, CAD uses -DirectX meant to be light weight graphics support for games Stress that the roots of current Windows Forms development is 23 years old GDI = Graphics Device Interface - Originally designed with static images in mind, animation capabilities limited OpenGL introduced by SGI in 1992, Microsoft on governing board until 2003 MS intro’d Direct3D in 1995, direct competition of OpenGL SGI and MS tried to unify Direct3D and OpenGL in 1997 (failed) DirectX not originally part of Windows 95, later added in R2 -DirectX is blanket name for collection of “Direct” APIs -Used in Xbox 360, Windows -DX10 and DX9Ex are only available for Vista- No XP support OpenGL included in WindowsNT, designed for “more powerful computer”, CAD uses -DirectX meant to be light weight graphics support for games Stress that the roots of current Windows Forms development is 23 years old GDI = Graphics Device Interface - Originally designed with static images in mind, animation capabilities limited OpenGL introduced by SGI in 1992, Microsoft on governing board until 2003 MS intro’d Direct3D in 1995, direct competition of OpenGL SGI and MS tried to unify Direct3D and OpenGL in 1997 (failed) DirectX not originally part of Windows 95, later added in R2 -DirectX is blanket name for collection of “Direct” APIs -Used in Xbox 360, Windows -DX10 and DX9Ex are only available for Vista- No XP support

    12. The Goals of WPF Take advantage of modern hardware Make rich applications easy to build Developers <> Designers Modern, unified development model Resolution independence Vector based

    13. XAML (like Camel with a ‘Z’) eXtensible Application Markup Language Defines visual object tree XAML rendered top to bottom Originally designed for WPF Used by Silverlight, Surface Can be rendered without being compiled

    14. DEMO: XAML tools http://silverlight.net/samples/1.0/Silverlight-Pad/default.html XAML Pad – Installed with SDK: Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.0A\Bin\XAMLPad.exe XAML Cruncher http://silverlight.net/samples/1.0/Silverlight-Pad/default.html XAML Pad – Installed with SDK: Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.0A\Bin\XAMLPad.exe XAML Cruncher

    15. WPF Challenges Tool support Weak, very V1 Expression Blend + VS 2008 Market maturity Improving, Telerik RadControls Enterprise support No (native) CAB; Prism very young New tech to learn If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

    16. RadControls for WPF Built from ground-up for WPF Not port of WinForms Fully leverages .NET 3.5 Complete productivity suite for WPF Extend functionality of built-in controls Fill-in gaps Help transition Shared code-base with Silverlight Complete code re-use

    17. What’s in the box? RadControls for WPF RadGridView, RadCarousel RadControls for Silverlight + WPF RadCalendar, RadCombobox, RadDatePicker, RadMenu, RadNumericUpDown, RadPanelBar, RadProgressBar, RadSlider, RadTabControl, RadTreeView, RadWindow WPF Futures RadScheduler, RadChart, RadGuages http://www.telerik.com/demos/silverlight/#Examples/Animation/FirstLookhttp://www.telerik.com/demos/silverlight/#Examples/Animation/FirstLook

    18. DEMO: Using the Radcontrols for WPF

    21. POLL: What is your experience level with Silverlight?

    22. Silverlight’s Abridged History Introduced in October 2005 (WPF/e) Name change at MIX07 Silverlight 1.0 shipped Summer ‘07 Silverlight 2.0 in Beta 2 (shipping very soon) SL 2 adds .NET support Plug-in based Support for IE, Firefox, Safari (Win + Mac) Support for Linux by OS community

    23. Silverlight vs. WPF Pick WPF when you need 3D support, full power of .NET or XAML Silverlight could forseeably overcome limits of .NET/XAML, but not in 2.0 Silverlight blurring lines between desktop and web applicationsPick WPF when you need 3D support, full power of .NET or XAML Silverlight could forseeably overcome limits of .NET/XAML, but not in 2.0 Silverlight blurring lines between desktop and web applications

    25. Silverlight on the Page

    26. What Silverlight Is Cross-browser, cross-platform .NET Reuse power of Visual Studio Familiar programming environment Light-weight, sandboxed WPF Tight browser security, feature subset Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform Similar to Adobe Flex (not Air) A new way for .NET devs to deliver rich experiences

    27. What Silverlight Is Not NOT a Flash killer! Side-effect, not goal Different audiences NOT a ASP.NET or Ajax killer! Complimentary, not Evolutionary NOT the only future of the web RIAs have a time and place NOT hard to learn and get started

    28. RadControls for Silverlight (2) Pioneering in Silverlight since early alphas Building complete productivity toolbox You pick the platform. We’ll provide the tools. Compact controls Multiple assemblies, keep app small Shared code-base with WPF Controls built for SL ported to WPF Vice versa
