(WPF) UI best practices

we are curring analyzing whether to implement a solution for a software application by using either WPF or WinForms.

Apart from that decision, I just wanted to ask whether someone of you has good resources in terms of UI design (i.e. layout) (papers, case studies, links, books...), preferably targeted to WPF. I do not necessarily intend usability rules in general (like accessibility etc..), but more specifically on how to organize the UI.

Like this: http://healthcare.codeplex.com/

The application is a business application, not an ERP system but it goes in that direction.

Thx a lot

Juri

For UI design check out Quince from Infragistics. It´ s a user interface pattern browser with many useful patterns, descriptions, examples and so on.

NOTE: Quince is shutting down services on Saturday, October 31, 2015.

As well as looking into MVVM, you may want to take a look at Josh Smith's excellent Podcatcher series on Code Project. These articles talk about how to create an application, and then to apply a top-notch UI on top of it using something that Josh calls structural skinning.

Link to introductory article. Link to article describing implementation of structural skinning.
