What is new in WPF 4 - WPF Controls

In this blog, I am going to discuss WPF 4.0 features one at a time. I am going to link the new feature in more details. Click on the link to learn more about that feature.

You will get WPF 4 as a part of .NET Framework 4.0. You can simply install Visual Studio 2010 which is RC as of today. I am using Visual Studio 2010 RC for my samples.

WPF Controls

Following three new controls have been added to WPF 4.0. These controls were introduced as WPF Toolkit. See WPF Toolkit February 2010 Release for latest version of WPF Toolkit. 

Click on these control links to learn more about these controls and see sample code.

• WPF Calendar Control
