Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

This is formerly known as the code named "Avalon," a graphical feature in Framework 3.0 that makes easy to build next generation web applications with the help of rich User Interface (UI), documents and media. This is used to display more advanced graphics that helps a developer to improve his/her designing skills using programming skills, which would be quite challenging. We developers can produce outstanding user interfaces using multimedia and document services in WPF. We can also make use of vector graphics, user interface, 2D and 3D drawing, fixed and adaptive documents, typography, raster graphics, animation, data binding, audio, video and develop graphic/animation through declarative programming. WPF allows developers as well as designers to collaborate and develop awesome visual user interfaces. Here are the two different developer environments that are used to make developer and designer work together.

1. Microsoft Visual Studio

2. Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer

The language that is used to develop application user interfaces in WPF is called XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language). XAML is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). Separation of model and view is possible in XAML by placing design related information in FileName.xaml file and business logic is placed in FileName.xaml.cs file.

Core Components

The major components of WPF are:

1. Presentation Framework

2. Presentation Core

3. MILCore (Media Integration Layer)

4. DirectX

Presentation Framework and Presentation core are written in managed code. The DirectX engine is responsible for displaying. MILCore is written in unmanaged code in order to enable tight integration with DirectX. MILCore (MILCore.dll) also consists of a composition engine which is responsible for performance reasons.

Microsoft Silverlight

WPF comes with its subset Microsoft Silverlight formerly named as Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere (WPF/E) and is a subset of WPF which depends on XAML and JavaScript. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences for the Web and mobile applications. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. It is lightweight, just 1 MB download and pretty fast. We can play many videos simultaneously without stuttering or dropping frames. No doubt WPF is next-generation graphics API. More explanation on Silverlight is out of the scope of this article.

Hi HIma

Nice overview of .Net 3.0. Keep up the good work. This article is very good for starters for understanding the basics in clear and concise way. I am looking forward for more articles (especially on .Net 3.5 with more emphasis on LINQ and DLINQ). I guess, it would be great if you include a section called targeted audience. That way, it will reach the right people.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the feedback .This article is written for beginners who are not aware of Framework 3.0. This describes features and components in 3.0.I think you are expecting practical oriented approach. I would be discussing on each part in my upcoming articles.

Hi,
Good attempt. But lacks terribly the professional approach for a good article on a topic like .net 3.0. I expected much more than a brochure kind of article like this.
Anyway this is ok for starters.
Best wishes
Scott.

Hi Keyyan,
You are right that Silverlight is not part of dotnetframework 3.0
It's neither mentioned in the features/figure.
Since it's Subset of WPF ,and recently released I just gave an introduction on it.It doen't mean that it's a part of DotnetFramework 3.0.
As mentioned Framework 2.0 is unification of BCLs+ CLR 2.0+ Framework 2.0+ WPF+WWF+WCF+WCS
Thanks for the feedback

But Silverlight isn't a part of .NET Framework 3.0 and it seems that you're considering it as a part of .NET 3.0.
