The goal here is to build a simple application in F# using the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with traditional menus and dialog boxes. It stems from my frustration in trying to wade through hundreds of sections of documentation, articles and posts dealing with F# and WPF. In order to do anything with WPF, you seem to have to know everything about it. My purpose here is to provide a possible way in, a simple desktop project that can serve as a template for your apps.
