This Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Training Using C# training class introduces Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF, the .NET technology from Microsoft for building rich Windows applications. This course covers the essentials of WPF, providing an orientation to this technology and a firm foundation for creating applications. The course is current to Visual Studio 2017 and the latest versions of the classical .NET Framework.

WPF is a complex technology that can have a steep learning curve. This course approaches the subject in a practical manner, introducing the student to the fundamentals of creating Windows applications using the features of WPF. It includes coverage of both traditional concepts such as controls and new concepts such as XAML, flexible layout, logical resources, dependency properties, routed events, and the loosely coupled command architecture of WPF. Data binding is discussed in detail, including visual data binding using Visual Studio 2017 and accessing databases using Entity Framework 6. The course also covers styles, templates, skins and themes. The course concludes with a brief lesson on WPF and Windows Forms interoperation.

What people say about our training

I am self-taught in WPF, but I always felt like there were holes in my understanding. This course walked through things from the foundational level all the way through some fairly advanced aspects of the framework. It was exactly what I was looking for.
