I spent a ton of time trying to figure out the ins and outs with the newer Win UI3. There was no beginner-friendly resources, especially ones that focussed more on the 'how' and 'why' instead of 'what' when it comes to XAML. I'm so glad I took a step back to WPF, as your tutorials are very comprehensive and put many of the principles into perspective. A few years late, but I just wanted to say thank you so much!

Hi Tim, just getting back into WPF from a 10 year break, your intro videos are just the job. Thank you. Cheers Dave

Very practical and you pick up so many gotchas that many beginners would otherwise be wondering about. Thanks for the amazing content Tim.

[RaviShankar-fqex]

You are brilliant tutor. This is my first video of WPF, infact new to C# but your tutorial is really helpful for a beginner like me to start with.

[ThiagoCaldasDev]

Hugs from Brazil!!

played with WrapPanel Inside the ScrollViewer, when you disable the default to Disable, the WrapPanel with Orientation="Vertical" works just fine again :) if you think about it, as long as you can scroll, the WrapPanel dont need to Wrap, first when the Scrolling in Vertical-Side is disabled, it's need to wrap and does so

Awesome news about the WPF-port for "From Start To Finish" - can't wait for that one . . .
Good work so far!

If somebody has a problem with playing video ( 13:15 ) there is a solution:
1. Right click your video file in the solution explorer and chose "properties".
2. Make sure Build Action is set to "Content".
3. Make sure Copy to output is set to "Copy Always" or "Copy if Newer".

Notes to myself;
6:20 : To connect a combobox to a propertie Firstname o/t class "Person"; add <ComboBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Firstname}" />
20:36 : Scrollviewer

[josephmarsh]
