>>Later. Those links were great, especially the series Josh does on "A Guided Tour of WPF". It explains in clear language how objects are put together in a WPF app and was very illuminating.

>You're welcome Bernard. I hope Josh's articles help make things clearer to you. I know I got a lot out of them, even though I've not done much with WPF since I read them.

>>>No, I'm not all that experienced in WPF. I just started looking at it a few weeks ago. For example, I don't know why sometimes VS is generating Width or Height settings and sometimes it isn't. I could only tell what was happening to your Form from looking at your XAML, and then it was obvious to me.

Did you post those before? I have them in an email I shared with others that I resent out today. I must've gotten those from you... The only different one was the msdn article which I added to the list today :) Thanks for posting the list here today!
