Product Description

Product Description

WPF offers amazing new opportunities to .NET programmers in terms of the user interfaces they can deliver to their customers. But this significant technological advance comes with a steep learning curve, requiring the programmer to learn new classes, new syntax, and an entirely new approach to UI development. Although WPF has been generally available for over a year, commercial take–up has been relatively slow, and the publicly available body of knowledge has been weak in terms of real–world examples and best–practice information. Using WPF Recipes in C# 2008, you’ll find a simple and straightforward approach to solving the problems you face every day. Each solution contains a complete, working example that demonstrates how to make the best use of WPF. You can use the example as a template to solve your own problem or as a base on which to build a solution tailored to your specific needs. Packed with well–structured and documented solutions to a broad range of common WPF problems, this book, which presents the only WPF recipes currently published, will be a valuable addition to any C# programmer’s reference library. Examples included provide you with a rich source of information as you begin to learn and will be an invaluable quick–reference guide once you’re a proficient WPF programmer. The emphasis on solving the day–to–day WPF problems that all programmers face frees you from needing to trawl through weighty programming tomes or sift through API documentation, allowing you to focus on the more interesting and innovative aspects of your project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Studded with Gems, 8 Oct 2008
By Daniel Bryars (Oxford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Often there is more than one way to approach a problem in WPF (for example filtering a list bound to a UI); and because WPF is so new it's difficult to know the "correct" way to do things. The recipes in this book are clearly the result of real life experiences writing WCF applications. I've been immersed in programming in WPF for just under a year and if I had had a book like this at the beginning it would have saved me an awful lot of time!

I think you will need to have some experience in WPF first (certainly the concepts) before you can really appreciate the depth of some of the examples, but if anyone is doing any serious application development this book is invaluble.

In addition to avoiding reinventing the wheel for the problem at hand I keep picking up gems in WPF that I didn't know existed (the default value for a binding , section 5.10, p262 was a great find for me.)

Well worth the cover price.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Vaulable WPF Book On Your Shelf, 11 Jan 2009
By Bruce Philp (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
WPF Recipes in C# 2008 is in my opinion one of the best books on the subject that I have come across. I have been developing in WPF for over 2 years and still find those hidden secrets and best practices through this book.

The recipes are dedicated to real world problems that you will come across with most development project and I feel they go to every extent to provide a solution that is the "correct way of doing things" from their extensive experience.

The cover price is nothing in comparison to the invaluable information you get from this book.
