WPF Improvements in Visual Studio 2010 for Building Business Apps

At the MVP Summit a few weeks ago, Italian MVP Alessandro del Sole was so excited about the new WPF features in Visual Studio 2010 that he asked me if he could interview Milind Lele himself to get the low-down -- I said sure!

Milind is a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Pro Tools team. In this interview he chats with Alessandro about the new WPF improvements in Visual Studio 2010 for building business applications. This time Milind shows off the new Visual Studio UI and the new WPF data grid as he quickly builds a master-details form against an Entity Data Model using the new RAD drag-drop data binding features for WPF.

Also check out Milind's blog post on this topic for more information.

Enjoy,

Hi Kingalo,
Your observation is correct. The presentation uses a snapshot, pre-release build. It's not optimized. Public bits will certainly be optimized and much faster.

Wow, it's like 2003 all over again! Rudimentary data grid, slow clunky drag and drop programming, fighting the design surface, and code gen that inserts code into the same file I am supposed to use with "do not edit" comments... isn't that what partial classes are for?

 

I realize WPF is the future for LOB... but it looks like a really DISTANT future right now... WinForms smokes this thing for LOB.
