Session Code: WEM203
Overview of WPF
Windows Presentation Foundation
UI Framework Introduced in .NET 3.0
Rich UI Development Using Extensible
Application Markup Language (XAML)
Clear Separation of Design and Business Logic
WPF/e Used in Silverlight
What is XAML?
The XML language used to create
WPF Applications
Declarative rather than procedural
XAML gets compiled into an object definition
Anatomy of a XAML File
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/p
resentation"
x:Class="AirportKiosk.Window1"
x:Name="Window" Title="Window1"
•
Width="640" Height="480">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
Main
<Grid Width="100" Height="100">
Window
<Button Content="Hello">
<Button.Background>
<Brush>Orange</Brush>
Layout Grid
</Button.Background>
</Button>
Individual Controls
</Grid>
(Button)
</Grid>
</Window>
Code Behind
Event declared in XAML
Logic implemented in a code-behind file (C#,
VB.NET, or any other .NET language)
<Button Content="Hello" x:Name="Button1"
Click="Button1_Click">
<Button.Background>
<Brush>Orange</Brush>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
Code Behind (continued)
public partial class Window1
{
public Window1()
{
// Load our component from XAML
InitializeComponent();
}
public void Button1_Click(object sender,
RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello!");
}
}
Data Binding
Binding Target
Dependency Object
Dependency
Property
Binding Source
One Way
Two Way
One Way To
Source
Object
Property
XAML UI can be bound to CLR objects or XML
Properties can also be bound to ADO.NET
and objects associated with Web Services
and Web Properties
Sort, filter and group views can be generated
on top of the data
Data Templates
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding
Source={StaticResource photos}}" …>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source="{Binding Path=FullPath}"
Height="30"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate></ListBox>
Leveraging WPF for Embedded Devices
Perfect for applications where UI is key

Kiosk
Point of Sale
Jukebox
The Silverlight Option
Very small footprint for small devices
Deployment and servicing is simplified
Tradeoffs when in the browser

About the Toolkit
The toolkit provides a rich set of utilities to help
support the development lifecycle of an Embedded
Windows OS
Analysis of target machine
Configuration of embedded run-time image
Building of embedded run-time image based
on configuration
Online tweaking and testing of embedded run-time
Capture of final embedded run-time image to be deployed
Deploy captured image to many devices

Analysis
TAP.exe generates a
.PMQ File
TAP.exe generates a
PMQ File (same file as
WES)
Configuration
Use Target Designer to
create a configuration
file (SLX)
Use Image Configuration
Editor (ICE) to create an
answer file
Run-time Image Build
Image build happens on
the developer machine
using Target Designer
Image build happens on
the reference/target
device using Image
Builder Engine

Shell Launcher
Embedded devices are task-centric
The one application should be all they want
Replacing the shell previously required
registry editing
Shell Launcher provided as a simple way to do
this common task
Simple setting apart of
