Primerjava dveh ogrodij za izdelavo grafičnih uporabniških vmesnikov : Windows Presentation Foundation in Windows Forms : diplomsko delo

Krnec, Kaja (author), Rožanc, Igor (mentor)

Namen diplomske naloge je primerjava ogrodij Windows Presentation Foundation in Windows Forms za izdelavo uporabniških vmesnikov. Kljub temu, da obe ogrodji služita istemu namenu, je postopek izdelave vmesnikov z ogrodjema konceptualno drugačen. Ogrodje Windows Presentation Foundation je tesno povezano z arhitekturnim vzorcem načrtovanja model-pogled-model pogleda, ki loči grafično plast uporabniškega vmesnika od podatkovne plasti aplikacije, poleg tega pa za grafično podobe aplikacije uporablja označevalni jezik XAML. Ogrodje Windows Forms nudi razširljiv nabor objektno usmerjenih razredov, ki so namenjeni razvoju vizualno in vsebinsko bogatih aplikacij. Posamezen pristop razvoja je v diplomski nalogi prikazan na praktičnem primeru aplikacije. Aplikacija je zasnovana kot domača knjižnica, ki uporabniku omogoča pregled in urejanje podatkov, shranjenih v lokalni podatkovni bazi. Na podlagi empirične in teoretične primerjave so na koncu izpeljane prednost in slabosti posameznega ogrodja. Kljub marsikaterim prednostim ogrodja Windows Presentation Foundation so rezultati primerjave pokazali, da je ogrodje Windows Forms bolj primerno za tip aplikacije kot je domača knjižnica, saj ponuja bolj ustrezne rešitve.

• Title: The comparison of two graphic user interface frameworks : Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Forms

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to compare Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Forms as the framework of graphical user interfaces. Although both tools serve the same purpose, they tackle it with a different approach. Windows Presentation Foundation is tightly bound to the architectural pattern model-view-view model that separates the visual aspect of a graphical user interface from the business and back end logic as well as using the markup language XAML for the design of the graphical interface. Windows Forms offers an extensible set of object oriented classes that enable the development of content and visually rich applications. The individual approach to the development in both frameworks is shown on a practical example in the form of an application. The application is designed as a home library that allows the user to view and edit the data stored in a local database. The pros and cons of each framework are presented on the basis of empirical and theoretical comparison. The results of the comparison have shown that Windows Forms is more applicable for the type of applications such as the home library as it provides more conducive solutions despite many advantages and benefits of Windows Presentation Foundation.
