Introduction
This is the third article in an introductory series about the Windows Presentation Foundation. In the previous article we examined layout panels and how they are used to create WPF user interfaces. In this article we will explore the world of data binding, and how it is put to use in the WPF Horse Race demo application (which is available for download at the top of the first article in this series).
For a comprehensive review of WPF data binding be sure to refer to the links listed in the External links section at the bottom of the page. This article covers the bare essentials of WPF data binding, and demonstrates various ways in which the WPF Horse Race application uses data binding.

Introduction
This is the second article in an introductory series about the Windows Presentation Foundation. In the previous article, we discussed XAML and how it is used in WPF application development. This article shifts focus to WPF's rich support for layout panels, and how they are used in the WPF Horse Race demo application (which is available for download at the top of the first article in this series).
This article is not intended to provide an encyclopedic review of the entire layout system in WPF. The Windows SDK documentation provides ample material on how to use and extend the WPF layout system, so there is no point in repeating it. Instead, we will briefly cover the basics and then examine how the WPF Horse Race application makes use of the two most common layout panels, Grid and StackPanel.

If you’re a Windows Azure developer or you want to learn Windows Azure, this map is for you. Microsoft has an extensive collection of developer guidance available in the form of Code Samples, How Tos, Videos, and Training. The challenge is -- how do you find all of the various content collections? … and part of that challenge is knowing *exactly* where to look. This is where the map comes in. It helps you find your way around the online jungle and gives you short-cuts to the treasure troves of available content.
The Windows Azure Developer Guidance Map helps you kill a few birds with one stone:
- It show you the key sources of Windows Azure content and where to look (“teach you how to fish”)
- It gives you an index of the main content collections (Code Samples, How Tos, Videos, and Training)
- You can also use the map as a model for creating your own map of developer guidance.
