Windows Presentation Foundation Samples from MSDN

Windows Presentation Foundation Samples
The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) samples are divided into two categories: Application samples and Technology samples.
Application samples are end-to-end applications that demonstrate multiple platform features. These samples are intended to show real world usage scenarios, and are an effective way to see the breadth of WPF.
Technology samples are targeted to a specific technology area, such as Controls or Animation. These samples demonstrate specific usage scenarios or features, and are generally not end-to-end applications.

Now go to XAML and use Styles and triggers to implement our logic of Age as shown below:







Now to support Static Resource ValueConv which we have used above in Style, Create a class which implements IValueConerteras shown below

Blinking Button

This is a small code where in i have used Styles, Triggers and a bit of animation of WPF.I have created a custom button which blinks(glows) as it gets loaded. Check it out.To understand a concept of Styles, Triggers, i have kept this sample as simple as possible. For that i have used three ellipses so that code doesnt become heavy to understand.Lets see ...
In resources section i have created a style for an ellipse.In this way we can reuse the style for different ellipses.Other way is creating inline style for an element where u can apply style to that particular element. Click on the beow source code to view it.
