Chapter 15. WPF 4.0 and Silverlight 3.0
WPF and Silverlight developers get some great new features in this release and will benefit from a more stable and feature-rich IDE, fine-grained control over text rendering, multitouch APIs, the ability to cache any part of the visual tree, support for Windows 7 features such as jump lists, and much more.
Some of the WPF 4.0 changes were influenced and overlap with Silverlight 3.0, so in this (rather lengthy) chapter I will be covering WPF 4.0 first, then talking about the highlights of Silverlight 3.0, and then briefly touching on some of the Silverlight 4.0 announcements from PDC '09.
