Books about Advanced WPF control building

Question

Hello. I'm really interested in learning really advanced features of WPF to learn how to create advanced controls, but apparently I'm running out of resources, and possibly, imagination.

I have these 4 books:

1. WPF Control Development Unleashed Experiences
2. Pro WPF 2008 Presentation Professionals
3. Programming WPF Chris Sells
4. WPF in Action Visual Studio 2008

One finished, two other half way, the other one just started. I sort of expected more from the "WPF Control Development Unleashed" one.

Anyway, do you know any more books about advanced WPF features, and control building? Or even about how WPF works internally. Let me know what are your favorite WPF books, maybe I've overlooked some of them.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed

Very good for getting your basics right.

[MUST READ] Chapter 3 : Important New Concepts in WPF.

Answer 2

I've used Reflector to decompile and read the WPF code and learn how it works under the hood.

I've been able to leverage this knowledge to good effect in my own custom control building efforts.

Answer 3

I also found this one, I just ordered it so I don't have it yet, but based on the index, it seems to go a little deeper than the ones in my question:

Professional WPF Programming

Answer 4

1. WPF REFERENCE is good reference.
