great book!! is simply amazing very good

Thank you for your book. Very clear and full of matter.

If another edition is planned ,
in chapter 6 , Simple Data binding, page 191 ( and also following pages 194 , …)
please add the following code to the callback :


        private void AgeValidationHandler(object sender, ValidationErrorEventArgs e)
        {

            if (e.Action == ValidationErrorEventAction.Added)
               MessageBox.Show(e.Error.ErrorContent.ToString());
        }

… otherwise the msgbox appears when the error happens, and also when the error is corrected.

Start to read this book,exited!

Good book with lot of exapmles.

Read this book by downloading a pdf version, very good book

A mid-level VB developer with a little C# knowledge, I started to "learn" WPF with a Pro WPF book from another publisher but it goes too far too fast. I needed something that would focus more on the basics and work it's way up. I than saw this book in the Amazon reviews and it loofed like what I needed.

This is a great book for learning WPF at a reasonable pace. I'm not dissapointed... just what I'm looking for. Well written. The Chris Sells & Ian Griffiths do a very nice job.

(I've never been dissapointed with O'Reilly books so I knew it was probably a "keeper" - It is!).

Extremely valuable book. However, since the "Beta" version is actually still available in the market (April 2011) through online retailers, it would be nice to have errata and sample code that matches.

It is pretty good book.

Nice book. But more depth is needed for developers. Thanks

I have the August 2007 second edition print. Do you have the updates available for this version? Or do I need to purchase another manual? I am using Visual Studios 2010 and the verbage does not match or it will not work as expected. I really need to get up to speed on WPF and Visual Studios. Any suggestions? Anything is helpful.

Mary, I have not been able to talk my co-author into updating this book.
