>I can't remember the books which others here have referenced to learn WPF, but I'd appreciate it if that person or persons here on UT could list those books again. I am due for a trip to BORDER BOOKS real soon and want to get at least one WPF book. I was up at 3:30 AM reading C#, watchign C# videos, and just plain excited about all the cool stuff. I let C# go for a few years and came back and voila!, it's all new again.

I don't recall what was on the book list that was posted but, FWIW, my favourite is "Pro WPF in C#2208" from Apress.
Important point: read the introductory sections *slowly* and *carefully*. I intiially made my usual mistake of skimming this in order to get to the nitty-gritty........

>>Others have pointed out that the main thing is the move away from GDIplus and User32 to DirectX and a new User Interface layout system. But there are other useful features in WPF - for example routed events (and the Commanding system), better databinding possibilities and a new printing sub-system.
