TripPlanner - A Complete Program Using WPF and XAML

Sunday November 2, 2008

Several weeks ago, I posted part 5 of my series on WPF and XAML containing some actual VB.NET code. WPF and XAML are so different from Windows Forms that I had to use the previous four parts to lay lay the foundation for VB coding. In part 6, we really get serious. This article is almost as long as the maximum I'm allowed to post because there is so much code in it. In addition to WPF and XAML, there are other reasons you might want to check out this example program:

  • How do you use embedded VB.NET code in XML literals when using LINQ to XML
  • How do you call a WPF event subroutine from two different places and make it do different things

And, of course, there's the main reason for writing it ...

  • How to code the VB part of a WPF app!

The completed system is downloadable, too!
