Richard Campbell: "In the GDI world we got a document from Microsoft that said you will build your apps in battleship gray and here's now they should look: File goes here and Help goes here, and we all got that as developers. There's no book like that for WPF. There was this idea I've got to find the guy in a black turtleneck and here is his piece of software and you guys go play nice now."
I think Microsoft now wants every Windows application to look like the ugly, difficult-to-use, hardware-bundled crapware we all hate!
Is there no such best-practices document?

Silverlight is simply a subset of WPF. 2. Silverlight is meant to be used online, while WPF is for local use.
In 2006, WPF was released which is an alternative to WinForms. WPF uses XAML, which is a language based on XML, to declare the user interface elements. In a simple WPF app, the . xaml file describes the GUI and the code-behind file describes the logic.
Most WPF apps consist of both XAML markup and code-behind. Within a project, the XAML is written as a . xaml file, and a CLR language such as Microsoft Visual Basic or C# is used to write a code-behind file.
Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML /ˈzæməl/ ( listen)) is a declarative XML-based language that Microsoft developed for initializing structured values and objects. It is available under Microsoft's Open Specification Promise.
There is a Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines document that Microsoft makes available. It might be along the lines of what you are looking for, but it isn't specifically a WPF or Silverlight best practices guide.
