Windows Presentation Foundation Development Cookbook

Overview of this book

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is Microsoft's development tool for building rich Windows client user experiences that incorporate UIs, media, and documents. With the updates in .NET 4.7, Visual Studio 2017, C# 7, and .NET Standard 2.0, WPF has taken giant strides and is now easier than ever for developers to use. If you want to get an in-depth view of WPF mechanics and capabilities, then this book is for you. The book begins by teaching you about the fundamentals of WPF and then quickly shows you the standard controls and the layout options. It teaches you about data bindings and how to utilize resources and the MVVM pattern to maintain a clean and reusable structure in your code. After this, you will explore the animation capabilities of WPF and see how they integrate with other mechanisms. Towards the end of the book, you will learn about WCF services and explore WPF's support for debugging and asynchronous operations. By the end of the book, you will have a deep understanding of WPF and will know how to build resilient applications.

Using WPF Standard Controls

There's more...

It's not limited to only the BackEase function, but it can have any of the 11 built-in easing functions defined in WPF. The complete list is as follows:

  • BackEase
  • BounceEase
  • CircleEase
  • CubicEase
  • ElasticEase
  • ExponentialEase
  • PowerEase
  • QuadraticEase
  • QuarticEase
  • QuinticEase
  • SineEase

All these listed easing functions derive from the abstract class EasingFunctionBase, which implements the IEasingFunction interface. It contains an Ease method and adds the EasingMode property, which indicates whether the function should be applied at the start of the animation (EaseIn), the end of the animation (EaseOut), or both ways (EaseInOut).

Let's modify our existing UI to have some more built-in easing functions added to the animation. To demonstrate this, we are going to add 10 more radio buttons inside the StackPanel and apply the easing functions to each one of them, as discussed in the following section.
