There are going to be three chalk talks covering WPF content as well (one on data visualization, one on writing XBAPs, and one on interop). I will update this post with the schedule for those talks when I know it.

Update 6/12/2006 7:47am (PDT): Added the chalk talks to the table above.

TechEd 2006 Kicks Off!

TechEd 2006 began tonight in Boston with a keynote featuring Bob Muglia and Chris Capossela. There was a lot of energy in the room, and a set of very cool videos spoofing the show “24” (which seemed to be filmed primarily inside of the Seattle Library!)

I’ll be working the Windows Presentation Foundation demo station and labs throughout the week, so please stop by and say hello. I’ll be giving a talk on Thursday morning at 9:45 discussing application model stuff, and how to build applications for both Windows and the Web.

Details for my talk are as follows:

DEV336 – (WinFX) Windows Presentation Foundation: Creating Windows and Web Applications with WPF
Learn how to use Windows Presentation Foundation application-level primitives for data management, system interaction, hosting, and UI to create great client applications. See how to create both standalone client applications and rich browser applications that can take advantage of these services. Gain knowledge that will help you make application-level decisions, such as when your application should be hosted in the browser or a standalone window, whether or not to write a navigation-based application, and how to manage application data and settings for various scenarios.

Timeslot: 6/15/2006 9:45 – 11:00

I hope to see you there!

Upcoming WPF Samples

Here’s a list of a few WPF samples that I want to write soon (in no particular order):

  1. Building a FileUpload control
  2. Removing/restyling the NavigationWindow UI
  3. Displaying HTML inside of your WPF application
  4. Using URL arguments to enable “deep linking” for XBAPs
  5. Using Popup as a dialog in XBAPs

I’m posting the list here so that I don’t forget. :) But also, if you have any feedback — e.g. you really want to see the NavigationWindow UI sample before the HTML sample or there’s some other application model-oriented sample that you want to see before any of these — please let me know.

I won’t get to these until after TechEd Boston (next week!), but if you are blocked on any WPF questions in the meantime, feel free to contact me (as usual).
