You've heard all about the improvements and new features in WPF 3.5 SP1, now its time to see the new stuff.  David Teitlebaum takes us on a tour of graphic applications that take advantage of the new and improved Effects, DirectX Interop, WriteableBitmap and more.

There is a bit of discussion in the beginning, so if you want to skip right to the demos jump to 05:45 in the video.  I'm smitten.

Looking for more than graphics? Check out the WPF 3.5 SP1 Overview video.

Adam,

Very nice work indeed. What should I use if I wanted to access TV functionality from a TV Tuner card? Is that a DirectX only route or can something be done from WPF?

Thanks.
Hurry up and post some sample files Tongue Out I want to play with the demos.

It looks like you guys have done some really good to me, I'm really impressed. The next Office, Windows and everything else should be fantastic thanks to this technology.
Fantastic demo.  I have a quick question re D3DImage:  Will it work in an xbap?  In other words, if you have a managed dx9 rendering back-end, will it fuse with the new dx interop without requiring full trust?

Thanks.


Unfortunately D3DImage does require full trust.  There are a variety of reasons for this, but among the most fundamental, the WPF team can't guarantee that the D3D APIs are safe for use in a partial trust environment.  Additionally, the SetBackBuffer method has the signature:

public void SetBackBuffer(D3DResourceType backBufferType, IntPtr backBuffer)

which takes an IntPtr as a param, necessitating full trust. Tongue Out

Is there any sample code available with the 3d form stuff?  That just has me itching to try a few things out, and thinking of what might be ahead in 3-5 years if some of this gets into Silverlight - wow, it's going to be cool!
Nice work!

Did the demos ever get posted by any chance? I'm particularly interested in the audio waveform with fmod demo, but it's all really interesting. Well done guys!
