What the heck is XAML? • Separates the front-end from the back-end • Simple declarative programming language suitable for constructing and initializing .NET Objects • Usually the most concise way to represent user interfaces (or other hierarchies of objects) • Doesn’t need a compile to render • The language that almost all WPF related tools emit

  14. WPF – how does it work? • Built on Top of Direct 3D • Converted to 3D triangles, textures and other Direct3D objects & then rendered by hardware • Benefits of hardware acceleration & performance due to work being off-loaded to GPUs (unlike GDI based systems) • Ensures the maximum benefit of new hardware and drivers • Software rendering pipeline as fallback

  15. Stock Boids demo Tim Huckaby CEO, InterKnowlogy Microsoft RD & MVP

  16. Why WPF? • The GDI & USER subsystems were introduced in Windows 1.0 in 1985 • OpenGL – Early 90s • DirectX – 1995 • Goal: Overcome the limits of GDI+ & USER with the productivity of Windows Forms

  23. WPF FAQ • Does WPF enable me to do something I couldn’t have done before? • No. Unless you factor in time & money… • Is DirectX dead? • No. It is more applicable to advanced 3D developers writing hard-core “twitch” games. • Are Winforms dead? • No. …but it will not be advanced; the last version was 2.0 in .NET 2005. • WPF / Winforms Bastardization • Windows 98 Supports WinForms • Does WPF run better on Vista than on XP? • Yes. • 3D objects only get anti-aliasing on Windows Vista or Later • Non-rectangular windows only get hardware acceleration on Vista. • Vista has a driver model that helps with resource contention
