I have created a trading application in WPF, for which I am ashamed of it's shabby look since it is far from being impressive. I would now like to redesign the user interface for my application, and make it similar to an example screen shot of a trading application
Can someone please advice tips on what path I should follow to make a UI of similar nature? eg., if there is an open source C# WPF application which has a similar look and feel, that would be great. or if there is a library which has cool listview, scrollbar and progress bars, ..
PS: I do not have microsoft blend
You should follow the MVVM pattern for creating UI's for wpf application http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx#id0090025
