Hi,

What is the relationship between WPF and ASP.NET ?

Is that WPF going to replace WinForm based desktop applications? But for web
application, it is a different story?


I am going to develop a web project, ocz I'd like it to be supported by most
web brewers. I know asp.net render basic html of client side, so it is not a
problem. But will WPF .xbap file be as popular? And is it just a client
technology? If so, how can it interactive with ASP.NET?


And are there WPF newsgroup?

Thanks!
Ryan

Hi,

Two different UI technologies.

Is that WPF going to replace WinForm based desktop applications? But for
web application, it is a different story?

There is a push for WPF to replace desktop, as it is richer and separates UI
from business rules and data access.

WPF for web applications is called Silverlight.

I am going to develop a web project, ocz I'd like it to be supported by
most web brewers. I know asp.net render basic html of client side, so it
is not a problem. But will WPF .xbap file be as popular? And is it just a

I think you will find Silverlight 2 to be more popular than XBAP.

And are there WPF newsgroup?
