The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation environment provides a consistent programming model for building applications. Directly related to XAML, it provides a clear separation between business logic and the user interface, enabling you to build applications that blend the user interface, documents, images, and other content for delivery on the desktop or across-the-web. That is, business logic models developed by business analysts, marketing departments, or end users (using XAML plug-ins) can be used natively as application front-ends. This eliminates the need for coding (or re-coding) from "storyboards," instead allowing for direct collaboration among web developers, art departments, business analysts, and back-end programmers.
With LEADTOOLS SDKs, developers can harness the robust power of LEADTOOLS extensive file format support, annotations and image processing features, while taking advantage of the newest UI development features provided by WPF. LEADTOOLS SDKs include WPF source code examples, making the integration of many years of LEADTOOLS imaging expertise into the latest Microsoft WPF technology a simple task.
WPF is pre-installed in Windows Vista (and later), and is also available for installation on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003.
