The "WPF from Scratch" section add no value whatsoever to the task at hand of learning WPF. I do not see any point in creating a WPF application with a COM-based MessageBox() call, using command line compilation no less. In fact, this section does harm by confusing the reader.
Also, there is no confirmed errata for this book. Even if the authors have abandoned the book, O'Reilly should attend to it and try to resolve some of the errors.

Example 1-1 line 3 "using System.Windows; // the root WPF name space" should read
"using System.Windows.Forms"
Without this correction get message "The name 'MessageBox' does not exist in the current context"
Problem also exists in code samples

(Sorry, I don't have a page number -- I'm reading in Safari.)
Line 13 of example 1-13 is this:
<Compile Include="MyApp.xaml.cs" />
In order to get it to compile, I had to remove the slash:
<Compile Include="MyApp.xaml.cs" >

I suppose that the XAML in Example 1-29 put into an XAML editor will produce Figure 1-16

problem page 38 example 2-3
the XAML is supposed to define the application but doesn't and is incomplete.
The C# code supposed to be produced is under the incomplete XAML.

Example 2-8 |
Hi,
I'm reading the book "O'Reilly, Programming WPF, 2nd Edition" and there is an example Ch02/AppDeployment where databinding of Properties.Settings.Default is done this way:
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static local:Properties.Settings.Default}, Path=LastExcuse}" />
I can compile the code and it works but Designer in Visual Studio 2008 returns error:
Error 1 Could not create an instance of type 'StaticExtension'. ...\ch02\AppDeployment\excusegen\Window1.xaml 33
Solution that worked for me was:
1) add the line:
<Window
x:Class="excusegen.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:excusegen"
xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:excusegen.Properties" // ADDED LINE
Width="550"
Height="175"
Title="Excuse Generator">
2) And bind Settings this way:
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static properties:Settings.Default}, Path=LastExcuse}" />

Figure 3-10 |
The Figure 3-10 is supposed to show "the Grid has made all the columns the same width" but it is
not. (Left column is shorter than right column).

"... Example 6-8 is creating a binding between the Text property of the TextBox and the Name
property..."
should be:
"... Example 6-8 is creating a binding between the Text property of the TextBox and the Age
property..."
because Example 6-8 is:
<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Age}" />

In the if(CurrentPlayer) block in the TicTacToe game, when the intention is to switch the player (from X to O and vice versa), instead of the assignment operator =, the comparison operator == is used instead.
Example 8-2 on page 259 includes a longer snippet which does not appear to have this error.

Code examples 15-17 thru 15-21 |
Sequence of code examples for printing a flowdocument seems to have errors around size and positioning.
1. The documentpaginator width is set to the printable area width, taking no account of the margin. This means that with the margin applied, the text is pushed over to the right-hand side of the page, and off the edge. Ditto height, pushing text off the bottom of the page.
2. The header and footer should be within the top and bottom margin, not in addition to it.
That said, the examples do provide a good starting point, but they require a bit of work to make them usable.
