The Discussion
-
songzhihui what's the roadmap of WPF?
-
Eric Hill Can't wait to hear how you are bringing access to the SwapChainBackgroundPanel to desktop WPF . . . .
-
mitsu Can't agree more with Eric !! Maybe multitouch performance too ! :)
-
OmariO 1. WPF perf of WPF in LOBs with frequent data updates (like in finance)
2. WPF perf in virtual data presentation. -
SimoneLocatelli Any chance to see in the future Wpf released as Open Source?
-
Vynos Are the new UI debugging tools in VS 2015 going to be released for 2013 as an update or extension?
-
ghostangel77 What is the future for WPF due to new Universal Windows Apps?
-
Contron Would you say that WPF is still a viable choice for building applications now that there's Universal Apps just around the corner? Do you think it'd be a better idea to wait until Windows 10 is released, or keep learning WPF?
-
BerserkerDotNet Is there a plan to bring Dependency injection into WPF as out of the box feature?
I mean real DI, like be able to do constructor (or at least property) injections into Pages, Controls, Converters, etc.
-
Jeremy How many engineers are currently part of the WPF team ?
-
kostix Seth is great as always!
-
tmds Also hoping we'll get SwapChainPanel in WPF...

DevAtMic @Eric Hill, @mitsu, @OmariO: Thanks for the feedback, considering up-voting or adding feedback to http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/89380-windows-presentation-foundation
-
DevAtMic @SimoneLocatelli: Even before we get to Open Source, we need to make sure that we can develop WPF independently and not as a system component. We will continue to evaluate the feasibility of making WPF Open Source.
-
DevAtMic @Vynos:No, this is only for 2015.
-
Ken Very exciting stuff!!!
One thing that I believe needs to be firmed up more is the nature of XAML serialization for WPF. The XamlObjectReader was left unfinished for WPF serialization and would be a good thing to have to propagate consistent future work in a Open Source environment. Failing this, making available the Blend serialization logic may also help. -
hillr We create .NET NuGet packages which have dependencies on native DLLs. We provide a single NuGet package that provides both x86 and amd64 versions of the native DLLs. We then use a build\<packagename>.targets file that will detect how the project is being built and copy the appropriate native DLL to the project's TargetDir. While that works great for EXE projects, it doesn't help with DLL projects which are in turn referenced from EXE projects. I really, really wished VS and/or C# projects had an "official" way to reference native DLLs/projects. This isn't that uncommon of a use case - managed project depends on native dll. Then perhaps NuGet could officially support this as well.

Manolo12qw I think it is great that there is a lot of activity around WPF recently. Check my summary of the WPF related activities: http://www.12qw.ch/2015/03/wpf-is-back-and-becoming-even-more-powerful/
I feel that many customers felt lost when WPF kind of "disappeared" during the Windows 8 and Windows Store App hype. I appreciate the team's effort to clarify that WPF is still THE framework for Windows Desktop Applications. Nice.
-
dsplaisted @hillr: NuGet 3.0 is planned to support having native assets for different architectures.
-
Francisco Has Microsoft plans to make WPF multiplatform in desktop (Linux and Mac)?
-
Christian80 Any plans on implementing x:Bind for WPF?
A lot of devs are interested in this:
-
George Birbilis how about some more love for WPF/XAML 3D and port to universal apps too (would make good use when deployed onto HoloLens too I think)?
In fact you could have pushed 3D XAML concepts into Silverlight too (XNA was a totally different world, more imperative than declarative/markup)
Apple is pussing 3D UIs with iOS SceneKit, see recent article from Xamarin on it: http://blog.xamarin.com/3d-in-ios-8-with-scene-kit/ -
Kiran Lots of people put lots of effort into learning and using Silverlight. There were roadmaps and it was promoted as the in thing from MS. And suddenly and no formal announcements...
What guarantee it's going to be different??
Wonder how many developers feel like this?? -
bkboggy Two thumbs up. WPF is a fantastic framework and it propelled me into the world of enterprise software development. I love it and I'm glad that all the rumors of it being "dead" are completely and utterly false.
