Chessboard in WPF

For years I've developed with Winforms, now I want to switch to WPF and make a chessboard. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start. Using WPF makes me very unsure, I'm feeling like a noob again. Can someone outline a basic design? I guess I would start with a 8x8 Grid and use rectangles for the squares, images for pieces. And then? Am I missing something?

Edit: It's just about the user interface; what goes on behind the scenes is no problem.

An alternative to the standard grid, is the use of a UniformGrid (msdn link).

It's probably more suited to this (in my opinion) as it will ALWAYS give you the same size cells.

used ala:

<UniformgGrid Columns="8" Rows="8">
    <Control1/>
    <Control2/>
    <Control3/>
</UniformGrid>

any of these answers will give you the results you desire.

Chess seems like a good fit for WPF's MVVM code pattern.

The Model will be the logic for the game of chess, sounds like you have that under control. The View will the the WPF look of the game, and the ViewModel will the representation of the game, in which the View can databind to.

For the view, an ItemsControl using a UniformGrid will work for a 2D representation of the game.

Here's a start (unchecked)

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding TheGame}">
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <UniformGrid Columns="8" Rows="8" />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ContentControl Background="{Binding SquareColor}">
                <Path Data="{Binding PieceShape}" Fill="{Binding PieceColor}" />
            </ContentControl>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>

For the above to work, your ViewModel will need to have a ObservableCollection<ChessGridItem> and ChessGridItem should be a DependencyObject exposing DependencyProperties for SquareColor , PieceColor and PieceShape

You could do your UI in XAML or in code with the same results. I've recently started using WPF and I recommend the XAML approach. It's a bit intimidating to start with but it rapidly becomes familiar. To me, it feels like a well-conceived approach to UI design and now WinForms looks like they just slapped .NET over whatever came before.

You can start with the drag and drop approach but if you're like me you'll be working in XAML quite quickly and using the design surface for a visual check.

This is probably not how I would do it but if you've looked at any XML or HTML you can probably guess what this will show, even if you've never looked at any XAML before:

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="100" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="100" />
        <RowDefinition Height="100" />
        <RowDefinition Height="100" />
        <RowDefinition Height="100" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Border Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Background="Black" />
    <Border Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" Background="Black" />
    <Border Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Background="Black" />
    <Border Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="1" Background="Black" />
</Grid>
