How Do You Change the Cursor of a WPF App?

Changing the cursor of a WPF app is pretty simple. You can do it through procedural code as follows:

this.Cursor = Cursors.None;

There are several built in cursors such as a pen, cross, scroll, etc. You can also use a custom cursor as follows:

this.Cursor = new Cursor("CustomCursorImage.jpg"); 
Because Cursor is a dependency property, it can also be used in XAML. Here are two  examples on how to use custom cursors via XAML:

<Button Content="Wait" Cursor="Wait"/><Button Content="CustomCursorImage.jpg"/>
