Thanks to everyone who came to my session , hope you enjoyed it. First off, instead of slides I used WPF based on the example by Beatriz Costa: How can I replace PowerPoint with WPF in my presentations? Next I demoed exporting the Xaml created by the WPF application to XPS. Here is a good link that covers...
I'll be speaking on this coming Sunday at the SoCal Code Camp at Cal State Fullerton. My session is at 9:00 AM on Sunday and is titled Bridging the Desktop/Web Divide with WPF and Silverlight . I'm hoping to demo (still working on my code) a simple application I built in WPF and show how easy it is to...

In Part 1 we created a simple WPF application that demonstrated WPF's ability to automatically update bindings and in Part 2 we extended the application to use WCF by using callbacks to notify WPF of the changes. In this part we will get rid of the XML file and move our application to use a SQL Server...
In part 1 we created a very simple application that actually didn't even use WCF. The next step in the process is to migrate our ContactProvider from an in-proc class to be a WCF service. We will then use WCF callbacks to notify the application that the contact list has changed. In order to learn WCF...
One of the magical features of WPF is the way that data bindings automagically refresh when they are bound to an object that implements INotifyPropertyChanged .
