QUOTED FROM MICROSOFT.COM...
"Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly code named "Avalon") is Microsoft's unified presentation subsystem for Windows and is exposed through WinFX, Windows Vista's managed-code programming model that extends the Microsoft .NET Framework. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) consists of a display engine that takes full advantage of modern graphics hardware and an extensible set of managed classes that development teams can use to create rich, visually stunning applications. WPF also introduces Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), which enables developers and designers to use an XML-based model to declaratively specify the desired user interface (UI) behavior."

WPF Hands-On Labs
Table of Contents
Microsoft: "The Hands-On-Labs are a set of tutorials that introduce key features of Windows Presentation Foundation. Each lab guides you step-by-step through the process of developing a complete Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application using Visual Studio 2005, the WinFX SDK and the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for WinFX. Each lab is an independent project. It is not necessary to follow any particular order. Rather, complete the labs based on your interest in a particular feature area, or your level of familiarity with Windows Presentation Foundation."

Static ListBinding

This walk-through illustrates how we can bind binable objects such as List, Dictionary, or arrays in the XAML.

In order to run through, you need to have VS expression 2005, .NET Framework 3.0 installed on your machine.

Here I use VS .net 2005.

Objective:
We are able to display all current processes information of the computer running this example on the window.

Okay. Now, let's create a window(wpf) project from Visual Studio .NET.
In the Name text, type WindowProcessViewer.


Now create a processes class that will have all process names.

Now let add a Processes class will have all process names of the computer.



Now, how can we display the process name in the window?
1. add namespace which Processes class belongs to.
2. create Window.Resource element and declare the Processes instance.
3. In the List element, use extensible expression to bind the Processes to the list.




I know if you are beginner, you will have questions on this source.
I will answer your question as much as I can.

Also, this blog will constantly modified.
