  • 0

I want to create a UI for my application.

What really confuses me is how to actually do it. I know that Microsoft has introduced WPF.

I have also seen some examples, but what I am not getting is whether or not WPF a seperate language? How can I use C# with WPF?

Lets say I want the user to click on a browse button, select a file and display it’s content on the UI. I want to do it using C# while WPF providing the UI, is this possible?

Any good resources for a newbie like me?

EDIT
What i didnt understand, will i use WPF for my UI or windows form for my UI while my actual code is in C# ?

I think i am being lost here ? WPF seems something else that supports c#. is that true ? i thought WPF was only for UI while the actual code would be in C# or VB.

I have taken wpf unleashed but it explains wPF and not how to use C# with it. Atleast in the starting chapters ?

I know i am being dumb here but i am really confused

    It is not a seperate language. WPF employs XAML, a derivative of XML, to define and link various UI elements. As in web development, both layouts and specific themes are well suited to markup, but XAML is not required for either. Indeed, all elements of WPF may be coded in a .NET language (C#, VB.NET). The XAML code can ultimately be compiled into a managed assembly in the same way all .NET languages are.

    You can implement your requirement in easily WPF.

    To get a hands-on in WPF start with this article, http://10rem.net/blog/2010/02/09/getting-started-with-wpf–hello-world-in-multiple-flavors

    Happy coding..
