• What’s new for WPF in the .NET Framework V4.0

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) has the flexibility to quickly design powerful line-of-business application that will help get you to market faster and more easily and help meet the requirements of your customers.

If you are an ISV looking to better understand the powerful features available in WPF then this Webinar is for you. WPF has been available in the .NET Framework since version 3.0 yet many developers do not have clear insight into the advantages it provides. WPF has the ability to allow designers and developers to collaborate, allowing you more control over the look and feel of the individual user interface components. Controls created using WPF’s description language (XAML) can be customized in almost any conceivable fashion. During this Webinar we will provide you with the knowledge to begin creating your line-of-business application utilizing this powerful development framework.

This webinar is applicable for many members in your organization, including:

• Developers
• Designers
• IT Architects
• Directors and VPs of Development
