RIA with WPF

RIA with WPF

Three New controls were added in VS2010 these are: Datagrid,DatePicker and calendar control. DataGrid has that lers you show details with data, using datagridtemplates. Differences between Datagrid and list view: list viewis read-only where Datagrid isn’t. Datagrid has auto generation and list view doesn’t.
VS2010 lets you apply resources to help you pretty up your applications. This is goood so outside folks can do graphics/color schemes for the application. They have put out 8 themes on wpf.codeplex.com to download.
Updated one-click functionality to include background updates. Reduced .net framework size from 250 to 60 MB. This drops to 30 download to client. Added client profile configuration to help make setups look nicer.
Model-view-ViewModel helps separate UI from business logic. There is an m-v-vm toolkit at wpf.codeplex.com. Can have your apps have MS ribbon look and feel (in current CTP) Tho you must go th the Microsoft office site to download this. Jumplists let you customize what you see on taskbar in windows 7. WPF will work better with Office.
