WPF

WPF stands for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a next-generation presentation system for building Windows client applications with visually stunning user experiences. With WPF, you can create a wide range of both standalone and browser-hosted applications.

The core of WPF is a resolution-independent and vector-based rendering engine that is built to take advantage of modern graphics hardware. WPF extends the core with a comprehensive set of application-development features that include Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), controls, data binding, layout, 2-D and 3-D graphics, animation, styles, templates, documents, media, text, and typography. WPF is included in the Microsoft .NET Framework, so you can build applications that incorporate other elements of the .NET Framework class library.

Architecture of WPF

Step1: Go to File menu choose new project and then WPF Application-as shown in below picture.

Step2: Then you will get space for working like in below picture.

XAML is an XML based language that is used as a foundation for the WPF. It allows forms to be created using a syntax very similar to ASP.NET and HTML. For example, a button in html:

<input type="button" value="Click Me" id="myButton" />

and In WPF

<Button Name="myButton">Click Me<Button>
