<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am considering writing a Windows program that will be a learning tool for me for WPF.<br />
<br />
I am a WinForms developer with years of experience with C#, OOP, OLE Database work, GUI design. Recently I have gone web with MVC2/MVC3, Razor, LINQ and Entity Framework 4.0. So I am staying current at work, except have not touched XAML. <br />
<br />
I want to start a side home project making a Windows program that would use WPF and force me to learn XAML. I might even sell a copy or two, but that's not important to me. I want to use MS Access as the database since I would never want to support SQL Express installation.<br />
<br />
I love Entity Framework 4.0 and LINQ, so that would be a requiremwent of my architecture.<br />
<br />
What am I missing? &nbsp;Where do I start?<br />
<br />
I suppose I need to find a sample WPF progrtam that looks pretty good and make that my starting point.<br />
<br />
Any advice?<br />

Questions about a WPF program's architecture

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
