For a hobby that revolves around dead people, genealogy is remarkably popular: it's the fastest growing scene in North America. The Family.Show was developed to be a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) reference application.
Our designers employed every trick in the WPF book– styles, resources, templates, data binding, animation, transforms– to present an innovative visualization of the classic family tree, freeing our developers to concentrate on behind-the-scenes features like XPS, Windows Vista "light up", and ClickOnce for WPF.
