Temperature Converter Tutorial

This tutorial illustrates how to go about developing a simple WPF application in Dyalog. It is functionally identical to the GUI tutorial example that illustrates how to develop a GUI application using the built-in Dyalog Graphical User Interface. See Interface Guide:

GUI Tutorial.

Like the GUI Tutorial, this is necessarily an elementary example, but illustrates the principles that are involved. The example is a simple Temperature Converter.

The user may enter a temperature value in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade and have it converted to the other scale.

No attempt has been made to update the WPF example, in terms of its user-interface, from the original version which was developed for Windows 3. This allows a direct comparison to be made between using the WPF and using the built-in Dyalog GUI.

There are two versions provided. The first uses XAML to describe the user-interface with code to drive it. The second version is written entirely in APL code. The two versions of this example may be found in WPFIntro.dws in the namespaces UsingXAML and UsingCode respectively.
