III. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Although there is much technology supporting MIS
development such as MFC, Windows Forms, ASP.NET and
so on, WPF is a good choice in windows client applications.
Compared with other technology, WPF has obvious
advantage in UI design, division between developers, reusing
code and globalization of MIS. Please pay attention to that
even now WPF is a new technology. It is hard to learn and
apply WPF because there is a shortage of references and
guiders. In addition, WPF required high-performance
graphics hardware. It is possible that a few computers can
not run MIS created by WPF smoothly. Even so, it is
worthwhile to use WPF in MIS development. Besides,
Microsoft doesn't update Windows Forms any more since
Visual Studio 2005. It is an evident trend that Windows
Forms will be replaced by WPF. Therefore, developers
engaged in windows client applications on .NET platform
should learn and apply WPF as soon as possible.
