WPF Reactor is a demo application that contains cool material and technical content to get you started with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) right away. It has a feature called ToTster that allows you to save any information on a web page all from within the browser. You can build up and aggregate your own WPF content as you go. This demo is an exploration of Microsoft's latest Windows client platform technology; WPF, Internet Explorer 8 and Live Services. WPF Reactor is a gateway to more WPF whitepapers, hands-on-labs (HOLs), samples and reference applications. The contents component is called WPF-in-a-Box.

Here are some easy steps to take WPF Reactor for a test drive:

WPF-in-a-Box contains WPF whitepapers, HOLs, samples and reference applications.
