New API for the February WPF/E CTP
If you haven't already heard, the February CTP of WPF/E has been released (go here for more information). There are a number of sources detailing the new features added with this release, but I thought it would be worth while to list out all the new API. The API are grouped by object. The new objects and members are listed first, then the new API on existing objects are listed.

Thanks for adding the TextBlock.ActualHeight and TextBlock.ActualWidth: they were really needed. Michael S. Scherotter Mindjet LabsAnonymous

Hi! Some questions/wishes. Do you have in mind any Data controls? (like Datagridview, or listview) Is there a wpf/e "full features" document? I´d love to build (in the future) a full wpf/e e-commerce site using only managed code (XAML-C#), no Ajax, no Javascript. Am I missing the picture? Than You! HoracioAnonymous

Hi Horacio. Thanks for your interest in WPF/E. As far as other features, such as data-aware controls are concerned, these will be considered based on customer feedback. To get an idea of the managed code programming model, take a look at the WPF/E Architecture Overview doc at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb190633.aspx As far as AJAX is concerned, it is a complementary technology to "WPF/E" and its use is optional.
