本书的组织方式

包含了各章节涵盖的内容:

Chapter 1, Hello, WPF

This chapter introduces the basics of WPF. It then provides a whirlwind tour of all the features that will be covered in the following chapters, so you can see how everything fits together before we delve into the details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第一章,Hello,WPF

本章介绍了WPF的基本原理.它对本书其它章节将要涉及到的WPF技术进行了一个概览,因此在通过以后的章节学习详细的技术之前,您能够看到WPF的各个部分如何组合成一个整体.

Chapter 2, Layout

WPF provides a powerful set of tools for managing the visual layout of your applications. This chapter shows how to use this toolkit, and how to extend it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第二章,布局

WPF为管理您的应用程序中可见的部分提供了一整套强大的工具.本章展示了如何使用和扩展这些工具.

Chapter 3, Controls

Controls are the building blocks of a user interface. This chapter describes the controls built into the WPF framework and shows how to make your application respond when the user interacts with controls.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第三章,控件

控件是创造用户界面的基石.本章描述了WPF框架提供的控件,并且展示了当用户与这些控件交互时,它们如何控制您的应用程序答复用户的交互请求.

Chapter 4, Data Binding

All applications need to present information to the user. This chapter shows how to use WPF's data-binding features to connect the user interface to your underlying data.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第四章,数据绑定

所有的应用程序都需要对用户呈现信息.本章展示了如何使用WPF的数据绑定功能将用户界面与后台数据相连接.

Chapter 5, Styles and Control Templates

WPF provides an astonishing level of flexibility in how you can customize the appearance of your user interface and the controls it contains. Chapter 5 examines the customization facilities and shows how the styling and template mechanisms allow you to wield this power without compromising the consistency of your application's appearance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第五章,风格和控件模板
WPF提供的关于定制您的用户界面以及其中包含的空间的功能,其弹性令人惊叹.第五章对个性化能力进行了考察,同时展示了风格和模板的机制如何使您在不使您的界面表现效果打折扣的情况下应用这种能力.

Chapter 6, Resources

This chapter describes WPF's resource-handling mechanisms, which are used for managing styles, themes, and binary resources such as graphics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第六章,资源

本章描述了WPF中用于管理风格,主题和图像等二进制资源的资源处理机制.

Chapter 7, Graphics

WPF offers a powerful set of drawing primitives. It also offers an object model for manipulating drawings once you have created them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第七章,图形

WPF提供了一套强大的绘图工具.它同时为您在创建它们之后熟练地使用它们绘制图形提供了对象模型.

Chapter 8, Animation

This chapter describes WPF's animation facilities, which allow most visible aspects of a user interfacesuch as size, shape, color, and positionto be animated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第八章,动画

本章描述了WPF的动画功能.本功能允许包括大小,形状,颜色和位置在内的大多数用户可见的方面发生改变.

Chapter 9, Custom Controls

This chapter shows how to write custom controls and other custom element types. It shows how to take full advantage of the WPF framework to build controls as powerful and flexible as the built-in controls.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第九章,自定义控件

本章展示了如何编写自定义控件和其他自定义元素类型.它包括了如何利用WPF的优势创建如同WPF内置控件一样强大而富有弹性的用户控件.

Chapter 10, ClickOnce Deployment

ClickOnce allows applications to take full advantage of WPF's rich visual and interactive functionality while enjoying the benefits of web deployment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第十章,ClickOnce部署

ClickOnce允许应用程序在借助Web部署的优势的同时充分利用WPF的丰富的可视化与可交互功能.

Appendix A, XAML

The eXtensible Application Markup Language, XAML, is an XML-based language that can be used to represent the structure of n WPF user interface. This appendix describes how XAML is used to create trees of objects.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

附录A,XAML

可扩展应用程序标记语言,即XAML,是一种基于XML的,用于描述WPF用户界面结构的语言.本附录描述了XAML语言如何创建对象树.

Appendix B, Interoperability

WPF is able to coexist with old user-interface technologies, enabling developers to take advantage of WPF without rewriting their existing applications. This appendix describes the interoperability features that make this possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

附录B,互操作性

WPF能够与旧的用户界面技术和平共处,从而使开发者在利用WPF的优势的同时免予重写现有应用程序的苦恼.本附录描述了使WPF与旧式用户界面技术之间的互操作性成为可能的功能.

Appendix C, Asynchronous and Multithreaded Programming in WPF Applications

Multithreaded code and asynchronous programming are important techniques for making sure your application remains responsive to user input at all times. This appendix explains WPF's threading model and shows how to make sure your threads coexist peacefully with a WPF UI.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

附录C,WPF应用程序中的异步与多线程程序设计

多线程代码与异步编程是确保您的应用程序在任何时候都能回复用户输入的重要技术.本附录解释了WPF的线程模型,并展示了如何在WPF用户界面中如何使您的线程和平共处.

That's not to say that we've covered everything there is to know about WPF in this book. As of this writing, WPF is still pre-beta, so not everything is working as well as we'd like, some things are just plain missing, and still other things would require entire other books to get their just due. In this book, you will find little or no coverage of the following topics, among others: printing, "Metro," 3-D, video, UI automation, binding to relational data, and "eDocs."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

以上并不是说我们在这本书中已经涵盖了WPF的全部.当本书写作时,WPF仍然在前期测试阶段,因此并非所有特性都在按照我们的预期正常工作.有些东西还无法找到,而有些东西要完整正确地描述则需要另外一本书了.在本书中,下列主题都并没有涉及到:打印,"Metro",3D,视频,用户界面自动化,绑定到关系数据,以及"eDocs".
