WPF can be used as a new development platform of
Management Information System (MIS). It is a pity that the
advantages of WPF have not been realized by MIS
developers completely. At the present, related studies focus
on exposition and application of WPF's technical features.
Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths [1] illuminated methodologies
of building windows UI with WPF in detail. Wang Chanjuan
[2] elucidated the basic knowledge for WPF programmer. Li
Yingbao [3] exemplified the use of WPF fully. However,
almost all the studies researched WPF separately, not

integrated WPF and MIS. The focus of this paper is what
WPF can do in MIS development, which tries to combine
WPF with MIS. With WPF, MIS can be created in the form
of Windows client application or browser-hosted application,
but only Windows client application is discussed in this
paper.
