WPF is the latest Graphical Engine of .NET Framework 3, and in my idea is one of the best UI Frameworks so far, considering the rich support for Right-To-Left languages which is built inside WPF. Since it's a brand new technology, there are very few resources on how to build Custom Controls, how to enable Themes and Skins and what considerations are to be taken. In this article, I'll be creating a MonthView and a DatePicker Custom Control to work with Dates in various cultures. These controls will render correctly under all known system Themes (Classic, Aero, Luna, Royale) and there's a sample to show you how to change the Look and Feel of the component completely.
