Chapter 29: Programming with WPF Controls

In this chapter, you will learn how to work with the WPF control content model as well as a number

of related control-centric topics such as dependency properties and routed events. As you would

hope, this chapter provides coverage of working with a number of WPF controls; however, more

interestingly, this chapter will explain the use of layout managers, control commands, and the WPF

data-binding model.

Chapter 30: WPF 2D Graphical Rendering, Resources, and Themes

The final chapter of this part will wrap up your examination of WPF by examining three seemingly

independent topics. However, as you will see, WPF’s graphical rendering services typically require

you to define custom resources. Using these resources, you are able to generate custom WPF anima-

tions, and using graphics, resources, and animations, you are able to build custom themes for a

WPF application. To pull all of these topics together, this chapter wraps up by illustrating how to

apply custom graphical themes at runtime.
