    Finally, someone has said something sensible about all this stupid "WPF is dead" nonsense - Mike Taulty explains that WPF is most certainly not dead[^] [As an aside, I'm going to be watching Mike talk about the Silverlight network stack[^] tonight, so if anyone else is around come say hi.]

      He says Winforms isnt dead either though.

      The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

                I like that: and in an amazing 180 degree reversal of our usual approach, we took an ugly codename and created a great product name (Silverlight) from it.”

                    WPF is not dead (yet :) ) but it ceirtanly fell short of the original promise to be *the* GUI API for post - XP Windows and completely replace WinAPI. If you want to know what technologies Microsoft is betting on, look at Windows and Office, not Visual Studio.

                        It's not dead; it's resting... Or it's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

                        It's turtles all the way down.

                              How much have you used it? While WPF is rather large and has a moderately steep learning curve, it certainly makes a lot of complex UI tasks easier.

                                Who cares ??? So its dead, alive, in limbo... Its just another technology to add to the boat load of new things everyone has to learn in order to do the same thing developers have been doing for years...

                                  And it's most certainly not. Just watch the ammount of threads on MSDN Windows Forms General[^] forum. It's very active.

                                      I couldn't disagree more :) Would you say the same thing about... .Net MFC C++ C Assembly All of these technologies _only_ allowed developers "to do the same thing developers have been doing for years".

                                          There's nowt wrong with VB, and, let's be honest about this, you know it.

                                          There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer.
