Windows Presentation Foundation

rdfs:comment

The Windows Presentation Foundation is Developed by Microsoft, the Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0. Rather than relying on the older GDI subsystem, WPF utilizes DirectX. WPF attempts to provide a consistent programming model for building applications and provides a clear separation between the user interface and the business logic. As such, it bears a close resemblance to similar XML-oriented object models, such as those implemented in XUL and SVG.

The Windows Presentation Foundation is Developed by Microsoft, the Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0. Rather than relying on the older GDI subsystem, WPF utilizes DirectX. WPF attempts to provide a consistent programming model for building applications and provides a clear separation between the user interface and the business logic. As such, it bears a close resemblance to similar XML-oriented object models, such as those implemented in XUL and SVG. WPF employs XAML, a derivative of XML, to define and link various UI elements. WPF applications can be deployed as standalone desktop programs, or hosted as an embedded object in a website. It aims to unify a number of common user interface elements, such as 2D/3D rendering, fixed and adaptive documents, typography, vector graphics, runtime animation, and pre-rendered media. These elements can then be linked and manipulated based on various events, user interactions, and data bindings. WPF runtime libraries are included with all versions of Windows since Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Users of Windows XP SP2/SP3 and Windows Server 2003 can optionally install the necessary libraries. Microsoft Silverlight utilizes WPF to provide embedded web controls comparable to Adobe Flash, but with more focus on a UI object model and less on animation. 3D runtime rendering is unsupported in Silverlight, but available to embedded WPF applications.
