How to start working on WPF?

If you don’t have Visual Studio 2005 don’t worry here is the easy way to start working on WPF. Microsoft always offer some beginners tools to get it free to work on like if you like to work you can download Visual Studio Code name ‘Orcas’ Express Editions from here.
But if you are going through my tutorials you must need to go with Microsoft Visual C# Codename ‘Orcas’ Express Edition you can download it from here.
