WPF: Data-centric Applications Using the DataGrid and Ribbon Controls

Business apps live on data. In this demo-focused talk, we'll show how we've made building data-centric business applications in WPF easier with the new DataGrid, Ribbon, and Calendar/DatePicker controls. As we build the application, we'll also give you a sneak peek at how building data-bound apps will be significantly easier in Visual Studio 2010.

Yes, it will be available as a Hands-on-Lab in a few weeks.  I'll post a link once it's ready.

In the meantime, you can find a similar app using DataGrid, Ribbon, DatePicker, and VSM in a Hands-on-Lab which is available here.

Thanks!
