DYNAMIC RESOURCE BINDING

1. Open vs 2010->File->New->Project
2. Select Windows Template->Wpf(WIndowBased)/Wpf(XBAPs) as per your requirement
3. You will find default code like this.


<Window x:Class="programically.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
      <Grid>
     </Grid>
</Window>

4. Create a Window Resource using <Window.Resources> Tag under <Window> Tag

<Window x:Class="programically.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Window.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="red" Color="red" />
    </Window.Resources>
     <Grid>

     </Grid>
</Window>

5. Replace the <Grid></Grid> tag with <StackPanel></StackPanel> and put a DockPanel  with name "myDock" under StackPanel Tag.

<Window x:Class="programically.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Window.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="red" Color="red" />
    </Window.Resources>

     <Grid>
         <StackPanel>
                <DockPanel x:Name="mydock" Height="90">
                </DockPanel>
         </StackPanel>
     </Grid>


</Window>



6. Now, we are going to access this resource Key from code behind file,switch to the code behind file
and paste the following coding under the load event of page .

 this.mydock.SetResourceReference(DockPanel.BackgroundProperty, "red");


7. Press F5 and test the result .

JAVAFX

 What Is JavaFX?

The JavaFX platform is the evolution of the Java client platform designed to enable application developers to easily create and deploy rich internet applications (RIAs) that behave consistently across multiple platforms. Built on Java technology, the JavaFX platform provides a rich set of graphics and media API with high-performance hardware-accelerated graphics and media engines that simplify development of data-driven enterprise client applications.
Investing in the JavaFX platform provides the following advantages to Java developers and companies that are part of the Java ecosystem:
Because the JavaFX platform is written in Java, Java developers can leverage their existing skills and tools to develop JavaFX applications.
Because Java is widely used, it is easy to find experienced Java developers who can quickly become productive building JavaFX applications.
By using a homogenous set of Java technologies for both the server and the client platforms, the JavaFX platform reduces the risk of investment by reducing the complexity of the business solutions.
Development costs are also reduced because of the aforementioned advantages.
The JavaFX platform provides developers with a development framework and runtime environment to create enterprise and business applications that run across multiple platforms that support Java.
See the JavaFX Architecture and Framework document to learn about the JavaFX platform's architecture and key concepts.

Key Features Of JavaFx

The main focus areas for the JavaFX 2 release include the following features, many of which are also described in the JavaFX Architecture and Framework document:
Full integration with JDK 7 is now available. As of the release of JavaFX SDK 2.2 and Java SE 7 update 6, the JavaFX SDK is fully integrated with the Java SE 7 Runtime Environment (JRE) and Development Kit (JDK). A standalone download of JavaFX 2 SDK for Windows will remain available for users of JDK 6 until Oracle releases the last Java SE 6 public update on November 2012. This integration with the JDK 7 removes the need to download and install JavaFX 2 SDK separately.
Java APIs for JavaFX that provide all the familiar language features (such as generics, annotations, and multithreading) that Java developers are accustomed to using. The APIs are designed to be friendly to alternative JVM languages, such as JRuby and Scala. Because the JavaFX capabilities are available through Java APIs, you can continue to use your favorite Java developer tools (such as IDEs, code refactoring, debuggers, and profilers) to develop JavaFX applications.

A new graphics engine to handle modern graphics processing units (GPUs). The basis of this new engine is a hardware accelerated graphics pipeline, called Prism, that is coupled with a new windowing toolkit, called Glass. This graphics engine provides the foundation for current and future advancements for making rich graphics simple, smooth, and fast.

FXML, a new declarative markup language that is XML-based and is used for defining the user interface in a JavaFX application. It is not a compiled language and, hence, does not require you to recompile the code every time you make a change to the layout.

A new media engine that supports playback of the web multimedia content. It provides a stable, low latency media framework that is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework.

A web component that gives the capability of embedding web pages within a JavaFX application using the WebKit HTML rendering technology. Hardware accelerated rendering is made available using Prism.
A wide variety of built-in UI controls, which include Charts, Tables, Menus, and Panes. Additionally, an API is provided to allow third parties to contribute UI controls that the user community can use.
An application packager that takes the guess out of building an easy to deploy standalone desktop application containing all the Java runtime libraries needed to install and run a JavaFX application.
Available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. As of JavaFX 2.2 release, JavaFX is available on all major desktop platforms, ensuring a consistent runtime experience for developers and end users alike. Oracle ensures synchronized releases and updates on all three platforms, and offers an extensive support program for companies running mission-critical applications.
