Could someone answer some basic WPF questions?

Hi RadX,

I can answer your second question: quite a few things in the code-behind are pretty similar to WinForms, and IntelliSense helps you a lot. If you add a button in the designer, you can double-click it to get a boilerplate handler for it in the window's xaml.cs file. Then you could button1's click handler, for example, like this:

        private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            button1.Background = Brushes.Gold;
            button2.Background = Brushes.Blue;
            button3.Background = Brushes.Blue;
        }

... and similarly for button2 and button3.

Alternatively you could declare the buttons in the code, and assign click handlers in the initialization. Intellisense practically writes it for you:

        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            button1.Click+=new RoutedEventHandler(button1_Click);
            ///etc.
         }

Obviously, some things are different, such defining the Background as Brush instead of the BackgroundColor as a Color. Once again, Intellisense helps you.
