Nah. "Cookbooks" are only useful if you already have a basic understanding of the overall subject matter (IMO), and you have a particular problem / question in mind.

In particular, the sample XAML you posted deals with "resources, styles, commanding, templating, triggers, ..."; stuff that is typically found in "later chapters".

One of the best books I found for learning WPF is: Illustrated WPF by Daniel Solis.

Also, there's a free tool out there for coding and visualizing XAML called XAMLPad that you may find useful:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/vstudio/ms742398(v=vs.90).aspx[^]

It's been around for a while and may not have been updated, but it is still useful for learning.

I don't use a XAML visual designer. If you keep in mind that your XAML is just one big "tree"; that you can collapse and expand; and explore using the VS "Document Outline" window; then everything just falls nicely into place (after a while).

(BTW, the posted XAML is more-or-less like a "library" of templates; not particularly useful for visualizing a "form", per se. The templates / styles are used to alter the appearance of controls used in "real" forms / windows. Just fiddling with appearances; mostly.)
