rhm,
The XNA work is not going to make it into WPF4 (not in beta1, and not by RTM).

Cheers, Jaime

It's good to be heckling again.

Argh. I finally get Beta 1, and right away I have to get impatient for Beta 2.

Will the Beta 2 WPF be able to bind to dynamic types?

That's a bummer. Still, thanks for letting us know.

What about raster fonts (bitmap fonts)? My preferred programming font, Dina, is a raster font. I didn't hear any good news on this - and this is pretty much a showstopper for me, unless there is some hack out there to convert a raster font into a TTF font that uses the bitmaps as hints at low sizes (my default programming font size is Dina 8pt).

What about with the WPF tearing and video syncronization under Windows XP?

Has there been any decision yet on whether .Net 4 will include a WPF version of DeepZoom (i.e. MultiScaleImage, etc).

We've got an application that requires this functionality (with a custom tile source), and we're currently putting off implementing it ourselves until there's a decision, but all I keep hearing is "Maybe".

Cheers.

Elric,
Unfortunately the tearing on XP has not changed. That is more of an OS problem that we can't easily fix on .NET.
The tearing does not happen on Vista or Win7. I realize that does not help every one, just wanted to explain the problem is in lack of XP double buffering. More details and best work aound are here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/embeddedwindowsctp/thread/4189aeb8-042c-4ffb-8370-66a35e8d485e/

Sorry if the answer is not what you wanted to hear.
