Meeting Details Tuesday, April 1 at 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM MassMutual Learning & Conference Center 350 Memorial Drive Chicopee, MA 01020 Telephone: (413) 598-9898 Presentation Abstract Discover some of the features of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that make it such a versatile and extensible technology for User Interface development. We will explore styling and templating WPF controls to give them the look, feel, and functionality you want in your applications. For those familiar with Windows Forms controls, you will be pleased with the relative ease which these customizations can be accomplished. We will also touch on using triggers and storyboards to give your controls animation that would have been very difficult to achieve with previous UI technologies.
