Hi Samanth,

Forget everything that has to do with how you design MFC applications, it was always an exercise in masoscism.

Learn the basics of WPF[^], you should spend some time on this.

Consider buying something like DevExpress Universal Subscription[^]

Make sure you understand how databinding works - it will save you a lot of time down the road.

You will probably be interested in the WPF PropertyGrid Control[^] too.

Best regards

Good answer Espen - my 5

Espen Harlinn 14-Feb-12 8:45am

Thank you, SteveAdey!

SteveAdey 14-Feb-12 8:34am

oooh, apart from the DevExpress ;-)

While the subscription is not cheap, as such things go, I think it's safe to say that I'm quite happy with the product - particularly when I'm working with large amounts of data - the chart, which looks quite nice, could have had better performance though.

If you're happy, then that's fine. I found it too restrictive on the styling and gets in the way of MVVM. I'm talking the pivot table now. As for the rest of the controls, it's easy enough to style them yourself.

There's some great free charting libraries on Codeplex, but each has their strengths and weaknesses, as I'm sure DevExpress does.

The pivot is after all the most complicated kind of grid, so it is perhaps natural that allowing for full customization make things a bit cumbersome :)

SteveAdey 14-Feb-12 9:35am

I wrote my own using MVVM and the DataGrid :p

Good :-D

Well, experience is different system help one people and create hassles of confined thinking for others. Anyway, I like you idea about "exercise in masoscism". :-)

Good advice and reference material overall, my 5.
