WPF focuses on visual effects. Reference applications and guidance on WPF are few and far between, said Andrew Flick, product manager for rich clients at Infragistics. The reference application, called Tangerine, features a storefront browser for searching on Amazon, featuring use of Amazon Web services.

WPF is about user experience, Flick said. With the reference application, developers can see how it works.

“It gives you the ability to say, OK, this is how I would use the different features of WPF and you take that knowledge and plug it into your existing environment,” said Flick.

The reference application, which leverages Infragistics NetAdvantage for WPF, is downloadable on Monday at this Web site.
