WPF-Samples

This repo contains the samples that demonstrate the API usage patterns and popular features for the Windows Presenation Foundation in the .NET Framework for Desktop. These samples were initially hosted on MSDN, and we are gradually moving all the interesting WPF samples over to GitHub.All the samples have been retargeted to .NET 4.5.2.

For additional WPF samples, see WPF Samples.

Using the samples

The easiest way to use these samples without using Git is to download the zip file containing the current version (using the link below or by clicking the "Download ZIP" button on the repo page). You can then unzip the entire archive and use the samples in Visual Studio 2015.

Download the samples ZIP

Notes:

• Before you unzip the archive, right-click it, select Properties, and then select Unblock.
• Most samples should work independently
• By default, all the sample target .NET 4.5.2, you can change this to .NET 4.6 in the Project->Properties page in Visual Studio.

For more info about the programming models, platforms, languages, and APIs demonstrated in these samples, please refer to the guidance available in MSDN. These samples are provided as-is in order to indicate or demonstrate the functionality of the programming models and feature APIs for WPF.
