.NET GUI Development with WPF

In the course dotNET GUI Development with WPF participants from SpiralTrain will learn how to create modern desktop applications with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).

Introduction to WPF

The course .NET GUI Development with WPF starts with a discussion of the architecture of the WPF subsystem in .NET for GUI applications. The essentials XML Application Markup Language (XAML), code behind files, functions and event handling are covered.

Layout

Next the layout and user interface elements in WPF for creating visually appealing and responsive GUIs are discussed. Topics covered include panels, grid and the canvas.

Input and Controls

User input with mouse and keyboard and the associated event handling are also treated. Controls such as buttons, text fields, radio and check buttons, combo boxes and list boxes are also covered.

Data Binding

Next data binding in WPF is on the course program and it is demonstrated how data from databases or collections can be bound to WPF GUI elements. This enables automatic synchronization and updating of GUI elements.

MVVM Architecture

The Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern is also explained. The MVVM design pattern is widely used in WPF applications to achieve better maintainability and testability through separation of concerns.

Data Access in WPF

Data access in WPF applications is treated with integration with databases using Entity Framework or ADO.NET.

Styles

Attention is also paid to the use of styles and templates in WPF for the creation of attractive GUIs.

Navigation

Then it is time to cover navigation techniques in WPF applications including navigation between pages and navigation between different views in an application.

Text and Graphics

Finally textual and graphic manipulation in WPF is discussed. This includes fonts, shapes, bitmaps and transformations that improve the visual presentation of the application.
