Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a next generation graphics platform which is included in the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5. It allows you to build advanced user interfaces (UI) that incorporate documents, media, 2D and 3D graphics, animations, and web-like characteristics. Built on the .NET framework 3.0 and 3.5, WPF provides a managed environment for developing applications using the Windows operating system. Like other features of the .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5, WPF is available for Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
Software Requirements
To run WPF on your machine you need to have at least the following software installed:
- Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or higher
- .NET Framework 3.0 or higher
Hardware requirements
There are no minimum hardware requirements for WPF Features
There are several new features in WPF that you can take advantage of when you develop your WPF applications. First, to utilize powerful new graphics hardware, WPF implements a vector graphics model
based on the Direct3D technology.
This allows graphics to scale according to screen-specific resolution without losing image quality, which is impossible to do with fixed-size raster graphics. WPF leverages Direct3D for vector-based rendering.
