Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is Microsoft’s latest technology for creating graphical user interfaces, whether they consist of plain forms, document-centric windows, animated cartoons, videos, mmersive 3D environments, or all of the above! This is a technology that makes it easier than ever to create a broad range of pplications. For example, WPF makes it relatively straightforward to implement applications similar to Windows Media Player, Microsoft Word (or at least WordPad), and, yes, even Microsoft PowerPoint!
