Shrinking your Code-behind with WPF Data Binding

Slides: ShrinkingCodeBehind.zip

Demo code including both WPF and Silverlight versions: PositionTracker.zip

To switch between the two WPF UIs look in App.xaml for the commented out StartupURI. The sample data includes resumes but not images. If you want to try out your own images they should be added to the SampleData/Images folder and referenced in SampleData/ApplicationData.xml in place of the current 01.jpg reference.

More information on the change notification memory leak that we discussed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938416

Dynamic UI Layout in XAML

Slides: DynamicLayout.zip

Demo code for layout concepts: Layouts.zip

Demo application code for WPF and Silverlight: PositionTracker.zip (see notes above)

Also check out my other blog posts here and at my old blog for other examples related to both topics. Thanks for coming!

Thanks to everyone that attended my presentations!

Sample code includes sln files for both VS 2005 and 2008. Slides are in pptx format (get converters to use in Office 2003).

WPF Data Binding: slides | code
Lots of stuff in the code that we didn’t get to. Look at NavWindow.xaml to see just how much can go into a binding expression.

WPF Controls: slides | code

Also check out some of my other blogs posts for more sample code.
