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

BounceEase

This type of function creates an animated bouncing effect to the target. The Bounces and Bounciness properties can be used to control the bounces. The Bounces property denotes the number of bounces and the Bounciness property defines how bouncy the bounce animation is. The lower the value of Bounciness, the higher the bouncing animation; the higher the value of Bounciness, the lower the bounces of the animation.

In the following example, let's apply a BounceEase function to the DoubleAnimation to create a bouncing effect. Let's add the following RadioButton inside the StackPanel:

<RadioButton GroupName="AnimationSelector" 
             Content="BounceEase - EaseInOut" 
             Margin="4"> 
    <RadioButton.Triggers> 
        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="RadioButton.Checked"> 
            <BeginStoryboard> 
                <Storyboard AutoReverse="True"> 
                    <DoubleAnimation...
