  3. Which of these would you like to see? brains-N-brawn.com • Pervasive Computing • Tablet PC (MVP 03) • Compact Framework (MVP 04) • Advanced Web Services (MVP 05) • Media Center (MVP 06) • Speech • Location Based Services • Artificial Intelligence • 3D

  4. OUTLINE • Overview • Fundamentals – demos! • Application Models • /backRow demo!

  5. OUTLINE : Overview

  6. Which of these have you worked with? Now • GDI (20 years), GDI+, WinForms • DirectX (11 years), Direct3D • Quartz, DirectShow (8 years) • Problems • Showing their age • Each API is different • Mixing APIs is challenging

  7. Next Gen • WPF – replaces GDI • Direct3D – large games, used by WPF • Media Foundation – ultimately will replace DirectShow • MCML –markup language for Media Center Edition applications • XNA – small games

  8. WPF • Compositing • UI, Documents, Media, 3D, Browser, … • Declarative programming with XAML markup • For Designers and Developers • Rewritten from scratch • Built on top of Direct3D • Hardware accelerated • Vector based • Resolution independent (1/96 inch) • Retained graphics

  9. Platforms • Vista • XP SP2 • Server 2003 SP1 • Renders the same on each • Remote Desktop transport • Subsets of WPF (XPS, WPF/E) will make it to other platforms

  10. Tiers • Tier 2 – DirectX 9, Shader 2.0, 128 megs video ram (hardware rendering) • Tier 1 – DirectX 7, 32 megs video ram (mixed hw/sw rendering) • Tier 0 – below (software rendering) • Defaults to 60 fps • Anti-aliasing

  11. Timeline • Pillar of .NET 3.0 • Class libraries built on .NET 2.0 • WPF, WCF, WF, InfoCard • Past Release Candidate • Go-live licenses available • Released with Vista • “Orcas”, .NET 3.X coming after that

  12. Installation • Visual Studio 2005 • .NET 3.0 (pre-installed with Vista) • Runtime • Windows SDK • MSBuild, XAMLPad, samples • Orcas extension for VS 2005 • Visual designer, schemas, project templates

  13. XAMLPad Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer Tools • Windows SDK • XAMLPad, Perforator, UISpy, XPS Conformance, WICExplorer • VS 2005 • Orcas Extensions (beta) • Electric Rain Zam 3D • Mobiform Aurora • Microsoft Expression • Graphics Designer • Interactive Designer • “Orcas”, Cider

  14. OUTLINE : Fundamentals • XAML, Application, Navigation, Layout, Content, Data Binding, Dependency Property, Styles, Templates, Controls, Events, Shapes, Documents, Imaging, BitmapEffects, Animation, Media, Brushes, 3D

  15. HelloWorldXamlPage HelloWorldCodePage XAML • Declarative object instantiation • Not exclusive to WPF • Separates UI and logic • Common language for Designers and Developers • Parallel development • Localization, Branding • Targeted UI (devices, users, …) • Tool support • Supports C# and VB.NET
