More moans about WPF: As it seems generally likely that MS are going to get rid of Windows Forms (sooner or later), and I am informed by the same organisation that WPF is 'cool', just exactly how can I use the wonderful graphical data toolset in vb.net 2008?
I understand the basic concepts of creating table adapters and multiple queries, but can't work out how to use them in code-behind with WPF, let alone XAML. I occasionally find something on the Web, but it is always written in C, and when I can convert some of this, I usually find that it doesn't do what I am looking for.
I should be able to hook up datasets, drag and drop, and then be able to tweak the details. After a while with a variety of working examples, I should be able to script from scratch. Each combination of attempts I make always ends in failure!
Am I not understanding what WPF is for? Surely you are supposed to be able to connect to a database, rather than just Web or look-up list content? ...thanks!
