Hi,
Having worked with Various Micrsoft programming languages for many years, now I am dabbling into WPF for a project. I don't know a single bit about it, but as I started to read the manual, I got confused as to what is the real purpose of WPF?
Why would you put your UI in painful XML tags when you can use Windows forms? If it were to separate UI completely with the behaviour, aren't the developers doing that already with clean layering architecture with the forms based applications? and why somebody would like to load a desktop application on a browser? If its a browser based application, it should be developed in ASP.NET.
Thanks,
|

WPF = WTF from my view point

I feel the same way about ASPX, Javascript, CSS and MVC, probably for the same reasons, outside my comfort zone.
Having said that I was fiddling with a winforms app in vs2013 and they have changed to DataRow construction and I was completely lost. Did not help that I was trying to show a young kids the basics on a strange machine. bloody embarrassing!

If you keep fiddling, you will go blind.

From MS's point of view it was a move away from the inflexible rectangular window with title bar and close buttons etc. The XAML can be highly stylised: Beatriz Costa - WPF styling demo[^]

Nope, as the many thousands of lines of database access code I've seen in ASP.NET code-behind attest I doubt apps developers are any better.

?????? This doesn't sound like WPF to me, are you talking about Silverlight? The sad profusion on Flash apps would indicate some people do see the need for this.
Also: Binding.

it does to me, WPF applications can be displayed in a browser.

Ahhh, I'd read the OP's screed as it only starting in a browser, as per Silverlight (hence the bit about Flash)

Apart from rich UI that works on dpi based location and sizing, it was made to make my life hell.

The original idea was to create a single design platform for web and desktop (Silverlight - WPF - WinRT) - it does not succeeded too much...
