What the Heck is WPF? • It’s. NET! …and why do we need it? – All the goodness of Developer Productivity • • Goal: Overcome the limits of GDI+ & USER with the productivity of. NET Windows Forms – The GDI & USER subsystems were introduced in Windows 1. 0 in 1985 – Open. GL – Early 90 s – Direct. X – 1995 Built on Top of Direct 3 D – Converted to 3 D triangles, textures and other Direct 3 D objects & then rendered by hardware – Benefits of hardware acceleration & perf 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 • Declarative programming – Bringing designers directly into application development • Ease of deployment – Allowing administrators to deploy and manage applications securely

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 compiler to render • The language that almost all WPF related tools emit

Sample XAML Runs in a WPF Application: Runs in the Browser:

WPF 3 D – Angiographer & Vitru. View DEMO

VIDEO Vitru. View

Vitru. View Inter. Knowlogy’s Vitru. View is a Microsoft Surface 3 D Application. It is based on a prototype we built for Inter. Mountain Healthcare – one of the leaders in technology for the healthcare industry. It leverages 3 D digital models from Zygote is the world’s leader in 3 D anatomical modeling and textures. You can see a video of the functionality of the application here: http: //silverlight. interknowl ogy. com/Videos/Vitru. View /default. html

Silverlight… “WPF Light” • Lightweight WPF runtime • Interactive, broach reach (browser) experiences for devices, PC, Mac & other platforms • Strict subset of Windows Presentation Foundation • Lightweight runtime download (4. 2 mbs) • Programming model uses XAML +. NET • Access to WPF tooling WPF-based Tools <XAML> <Button Width="100 px"> OK <Button. Background> Light. Blue </Button. Background> </Button> </XAML>

Audience Participation Time 1. Does WPF enable me to do something I couldn’t have done before? – – No. Unless you factor in time & money… And would like to do more with less… 2. Is Direct. X dead? – No. It is more applicable to advanced 3 D developers writing hard-core “twitch” games. 3. Are Winforms dead? – – – No. …but it will not be advanced; the last version was 2. 0 in. NET 2005. WPF / Winforms Integration is elegant & simple Windows 98 Supports Win. Forms – we need a rich client solution for legacy 4. Does WPF run better on Vista & Win 7 than on XP? – – Yes. 3 D objects only get anti-aliasing on Windows Vista and later. Non-rectangular windows only get hardware acceleration on Vista and later. Vista & Windows 7 have driver models that help with resource contention. 5. Does Silverlight trump all this other WPF & Surface Stuff? – – – One would think so with all the marketing dollars and buzz that are being thrown at it…. But, in Reality the answer is “No” and it makes solution architecture more important than ever. Ultimately these 3 worlds (and more) will collide and where and how your app is manifested will not matter
