Comment Feed for Channel 9 - 3D View Controls for WPF http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/429912_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - 3D View Controls for WPF 3D functionality is becoming a more popular component in UI technologies and has been greatly improved in WPF 3.5 SP1. Upon hearing this some people (Niners even) are known to question "what is it good for?" My first answer is that the British Turning Pages application just wouldn't be the same without 3D. Marc Laroche stopped by to talk about another use of 3D in one of Xceed's new controls 3D Views for WPF.  Watching Marc move the camera to adjust the display of the data (around 5:25) can give you an idea of where 3D can really be useful.  Simply adjusting the position of the camera offers a new perspective rendered dynamically.  There is no need to pre-render all of the desired views. This is great stuff but it feels like just the beginning.  The more accessible we can make 3D, the more we can become creative and effective with it. en Fri, 24 May 2013 20:08:25 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 20:08:25 GMT Rev9 Re: 3D View Controls for WPF I'm a fan of Xceed products, although I don't use the WPF controls. I just like the architectural design of their components and the extensibility. At work, we use the Xceed Grid for .NET (WinForms), the compression library, the ZIP-library and the FTP-library. I was able to customize the Xceed Grid so much you probably can't even recognize it's an Xceed Grid anymore. Great work.

PS: I loved this video too.

Anyone that wants to try this WPF control can run it directly in the browser (IE, FF) using the no-install XBAP demo, here:

With prior WPF technologies, Microsoft always had some base controls, that were either augmented or redeveloped by companies like Xceed. Indeed their own winforms grid pales in insignificance to the Xceed one which Microsoft themselves use in their products (even today).

This is a market leading component and deserves the credit it gets. These guys were squeezing performance out of the grid before .NET 3.5 SP1 and the grid was already fast then.

In general (except for Windows and Office) Microsoft are very slow to release any eye candy and if you are a WPF developer today you need the Xceeds and Lawson Smart Client folk to lead the direction inspiration wise.

Thanks for the vid and the xeptional grid!
