Anti aliasing cannot be turned off in WPF. But I want to remove the blurred look of WPF fonts when they are small. One possibility would be to use a .net 2.0 component. This looks like it would lose the transparency capability and Blend support. Never tried it though. Anyone has a solution for this? Any drawbacks from it? Thank you ...

Background: I have a little video playing app with a UI inspired by the venerable Sasami2k, just updated to use VMR9 (i.e. Direct3D9 with DirectShow) and be less unstable. Currently, it's a C++ app using raw Win32, through necessity: none of the various toolkits are worth a damn. WPF, in particular, was not possible, due to its airspac...

How stable is WPF not in terms of stability of a WPF program, but in terms of the 'stability' of the API itself. Let me explain: Microsoft is notorious for changing its whole methodology around with new technology. Like with the move from silverlight 1 to silverlight 2. With WPF, I know that MS changed a bunch of stuff with the rel...

Here's the situation: I need to bind a WPF FixedPage against a DataRow. Bindings don't work against DataRows; they work against DataRowViews. I need to do this in the most generic way possible, as I know nothing about and have no control over what is in the DataRow. What I need is to be able to get a DataRowView for a given DataRow...

Hey, Didn't get a reply to this on the MSDN WPF forum, so I thought I'd try here. Some WPF controls - like the button - seem to happily consume all the availible space in its' container if you don't specify the height it is to have. And some - like the ones I need to use right now, the (multiline) TextBox and the ListBox - seem more w...

I had a discussion with some colleagues mentioning that there are not too many projects that we do which make use of WPF for creating UI for a windows application (we almost always use Windows Forms instead).
