It is good to hear that. WPF is an amazing technology. I'm glad that Microsoft Developing team took binding data into consideration.

it is good news, but working with data is , most of the time, working with text data. until wpf team is doing something with font rendering all that effort is useless ( i tried to work with wpf over data and i had to give up, for now ... the data is very hard to read with that blurry fonts )

The really interesting thing is that Microsoft Expression Blend has always had a pretty decent data binding experience within the designer. It isn't quite drag-and-drop, but you can quite easily control the binding parameters from directly within the property grid. I would like to see both and really hope that in an attempt to make data binding simple-stupid that you don't overshoot and end up with something simple for the most insanely basic data binding scenarios and nothing for anything with the slightest level of complexity.

I really hope that the Visual Studio/Cider team take a page from the Blend team and enable complete data binding and resource binding support from directly in the property grid. Even better, if both teams could work on a property grid that could be shared between the products that would be useful. The WPF team and designer teams need to work on supporting a designer infrastructure that is also shared between Cider and Blend so that WPF controls developed by Microsoft (including those that come with WPF) and third parties can have real design-time support.

WPF is an amazing framework but I seriously think Microsoft sells it short with a lackluster design time experience. It doesn't help that WPF is overshadowed by Silverlight, where the design time experience, especially in Cider, is even worse.

Hi Halo_Four,

Totally agree -- that's why they're working on bring RAD to WPF in VS 2010. WPF is the framework, now we need to tools to actually develop with it mainstream. Tools are always be behind the framework development. Thanks for the great feedback!

Cheers,

I'm kinda lost as far as all this goes.

Beth, I'd like to get some input from you - what with you being a professional in your field and all - on something.

I'm still sitting with VS 2005. I don't have the 3GB to download a trial of VS 2008 or even the +/-750mb to download the ISO file of the express editions.

I see that VS2010 is coming out soon too, so I'm roughly 5 years behind in my education.

What I'm asking here is do you have any suggestions for me on ways I could catch up a little?
