Question regarding exam 70-505

Hello folks, while browsing the exam 70-505 official website i found the following skill measured:

* Change the appearance of a UI element by using triggers.

This objective may include but is not limited to: using multiple triggers; using property triggers; using event triggers; using data triggers

I thought that the concept of using triggers was a featured introduced by WPF. Are they really appliable to Windows Forms technology?

I spent a couple hours searching for study guides regarding triggers and forms but all i could find were WPF related topics.

Can anyone help me with this thread? I thank in advance!

I didn't study the exam. A trigger afaik is a database term, having a column assignment having an alternate action. There's a one-to-one mapping to that feature in .NET programming. Write a property setter. It can do anything it wants to do. The classic example is the property setter for TextBox.Text. It doesn't only change the Text property, it also changes the string that the user sees on the screen. Non-trivial.

I agree with you. However, that concept is related to the .NET plataform as a whole. It makes no sense to have it formely described as ameasured skill in a Windows Forms technology exam.

The fact i couldn't find a single threadabout that topic beside the examwebsite is something thatreallybothers me.

Thanks forthe reply!
