🚫 The answer is a resounding NO! WPF is NOT dead, and here's why: 1️⃣ Strong Microsoft Support: Microsoft continues to invest in and improve WPF. With regular updates and feature enhancements, it's clear that WPF remains an important part of their development ecosystem. 2️⃣ Proven Track Record: WPF has been around for over a decade and has powered countless successful applications. Its rich capabilities for building desktop applications make it a preferred choice for many developers and organizations. 3️⃣ Modern UI Experiences: WPF allows developers to create stunning, visually appealing user interfaces with its powerful styling and templating capabilities. It's still widely used in industries like finance, healthcare, and enterprise software where rich desktop experiences are essential. 4️⃣ Seamless Integration: WPF works seamlessly with other .NET technologies, such as C#, XAML, and the .NET Core framework. This integration ensures compatibility, flexibility, and s

Why WPF is Still Relevant in 2023 and Beyond - Exploring the Robust UI Framework  WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is a popular user interface (UI) framework for building Windows desktop applications. It was first introduced by Microsoft in 2006 and has since undergone many updates and improvements. Despite the emergence of new UI frameworks and technologies, WPF continues to be a go-to solution for many developers. In this blog post, we'll explore why WPF is still relevant in 2023 and beyond. Robust and Powerful WPF offers a robust and powerful platform for building modern desktop applications. It provides developers with an extensive set of controls, styling options, and animation capabilities, making it easy to create rich and interactive user interfaces. WPF also supports data binding, which simplifies the process of connecting UI elements to data sources. Cross-platform Capabilities While WPF is primarily associated with Windows desktop applications, it also has cro

 In this Blog, we will be discussing the difference between the Label and TextBlock controls in WPF. These two controls are often used to display text in a WPF application, but they have some key differences that you should be aware of when deciding which one to use in your projects. First, let's take a look at the label control. The label control is used to display a single line of text that is typically associated with another control, such as a textbox or a button. The label control is often used to provide a description or a prompt for the user. The label control is also typically used to display a static text and can't be used for editing text. <Label Content="Enter your name:" /> This will create a label with the text "Enter your name:" displayed on the screen. On the other hand, the textblock control is used to display multiple lines of text. It's more flexible than the label control and can be used to display formatted text, such as bol

In this Post i will explain the pagination using the MVVM pattern. Lets first create the View with DataGrid and pagination control with First, Previous, Next and Last buttons and we will also have the number of record per page to be displayed in DataGrid option which is ComboBox and in this DataGrid i will load data from CSV file. View I will create the view with DataGrid like this And in this DataGrid i will load data from CSV file <Window x:Class="CURD.Views.EmployeeDetails"         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"         xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"         xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"         xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CURD.Views"         mc:Ignorable="d"         Title="EmployeeDetails"         xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:Syste

To create the custom command we need to implement ICommand interface which is having two method called CanExecute and Execute and one EventHandler called CanExecuteChanged. CanExecute method is responsible to tell if commend will execute or not. Execute method perform the action. Step to create custom command: Implement the ICommand write a constructor which will take two parameters of type Action and Func respectively. if you want to trigger CanExecute on property change then add the method which should invoke CanExecuteChanged  EventHandler . Why Action? Action delegate is used for performing the action. As our actual implementation of  this Action will present in our ViewModel and we need to pass ViewModel method as a constructor parameter so that we can assign it in our CustomCommand and can invoke when require. Why Func? Func delegate is used when we want to pass some value and return some value. As our actual implementation of  this Func will present in our ViewModel and we ne

In this post we are going to learn the pagination in the data grid where we will have options to select the number of records to be displayed per page in the data grid. you can select the count from the record per page combobox and based on that you can see the records. I will add the four buttons which is used for show the first page, previous page, next page and last page. Below is DataGrid control code:  <DataGrid Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding EmployeeCollection}"                    AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserAddRows="False">             <DataGrid.Columns>                 <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding ID}"/>                 <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>                 <DataGridTextColumn Header="Age" Binding="{Binding Age}"/>                 <DataGridTextColumn Header="Gender"
