Windows Presentation Foundation（WPF）是美国微软公司推出.NET Framework 3.0及以后版本的组成部分之一，它是一套基于XML、.NET Framework、矢量绘图技术的展示层开发框架，微软视其为下一代用户接口技术，广泛被用于Windows Vista的界面开发。

WPF使用一种新的XAML（eXtensible Application Markup Language）语言来开发界面，这将把界面开发以及后台逻辑很好的分开，降低了耦合度，使用户界面设计师与进程开发者能更好的合作，降低维护和更新的成本。

Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications by Microsoft. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0. Rather than relying on the older GDI subsystem, WPF uses DirectX. WPF attempts to provide a consistent programming model for building applications and separates the user interface from business logic. It resembles similar XML-oriented object models, such as those implemented in XUL and SVG.
