Re: Need a book to learn C# in a practicle approach
Hi,
@7 possibilities of the graphical designer are very limited, especially in WPF case. WPF is fully relative positioning based, so instead of placing elements to certain positions, you usually split the screen to containers where you fit them, what is not impossible, but can be done much easier from the xaml than graphically.
Plus there are lot of functional things which you can do in xaml, like bindings, which you will most likely use whenever possible, so having a nice and readable xaml is again very handy.
Thus many professionals prefer writing WPF guis manually over designing them with mouse. I recommend it as well, it isn't complicated at all, as in most cases default values will be suitable for you, so there is minimal amount of writing if you need just basic things.
That's not the case of Android for example, if you want to see a messy form code, just check out its xml system for creating activities.
And even if it was hard for you for any reason, there is still intelly sense, which can help you quite a bit if you forget something, so I don't see the reason myself why to mess around with the designer.
Some people might prefer it because they were used to Windows Forms, however WPF is on a completely different level.
Best regards
Rastislav
