From the outset, the reader can shift focus seamlessly between Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and C# to see them as flip sides of the same processes. Beginning in the first chapter, Petzold presents the general syntax of the XAML and corresponding programming code with numerous illuminating examples on how the two correspond and interrelate. The book builds on this base, providing the classic Petzold Windows user interface (UI) treatment, to show Windows developers how to create next-generation interfaces for their applications.Positioning Statement:The definitive guide for exploiting the new interface capabilities of Windows VistaUnique Selling Proposition:Written by programming legend Charles Petzold, this book shows Windows developers how to use XAML and C# together to craft client interfaces for Windows Vista.Key Book Benefits:• Delivers UI information in digestible chapters (often fewer than five pages) with plentiful code samples• Provides the classic Petzold Windows UI treatment, adapted for the capabilities of WPF, Windows Vista, and the latest hardware• Features information about both XAML (difficult but sometimes richer) and C# (familiar, powerful) development for WPFWill Sell Like:Programming Microsoft Windows with C# (ISBN: 0-7356-1370-2)
