WPF Book

In this repository I'll store all of the knowledge, tools and other utilities that I use to make programs using WPF in .NET.

App Setup

The entry point for WPF apps is App.xaml. This file contains the resources for your Application as well as the first Window that will open on startup (StartupUri)

Content Containers

The content of the app can be located in containers:

• Window: The top most container. An WPF app has at least 1 window. Windows are independent from each other.
• User Control: User Controls can be placed inside Windows, Pages or other Controls.
• Page: Similar to User Controls, however they are use for navigation, the app can go back and forth between pages. Note that they remain in memory to do so.
