Morning everyone, so my boss has asked me to research WPF and advice whether its a viable solution for our software to migrate to. However, from what Ive seen...
I don't get that arguement to be honest, I've pushed nhibernate down to some newbie developers and they found it ALOT simpler than ado.net and datasets. ...

Sounds too me you have to options - Lots of ajax goodness - this isn't too hard if you look around at open source toolkits etc or even the ms ajax toolkit -...

I suppose it depends how poco fussy you are. Personally I don't use the attributes for activerecord but for a certain size of solution there a good thing that...

Which will only work if I am using the bare minimum, from my observations (which may be mistaken by now), a lot of the more interesting scenarios does require...

Can't wait to use 2008, but for one reason only.It has array parameter, at long last! On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 9:17 AM, Emanuele DelBono...

I've had the same experience trying to push it down to junior developers, who even after a few tutorials don't seem to grasp it. ( ok that could be the...
Yeh, actually I've just been reading that Silverlight is actually a subset of WPF. So maybe I can swing that! So is WPF just not being used in web projects...
Silverlight was originally called WPF/E, and in a reversal of MS' usual marketing they left the codename. Because the web is cool and trendy and all that. Does...
From what I hear everyone is staying with webprojects at the moment and using monorail or asp.net mvc(can anyone confirm this is ready to use) WPF is mainly...

Silver light is a cut down version of WPF, its old name was WPFe (e = everywhere), so basically if it can be done in silverlight, it can be done in wpf, but...

I'd second that - assuming your customers / clients can / will install the relevant plugin, using SilverLight is a great way to provide a rich web UI. I know...
But pretty much what everyone is saying is that you would use silverlight in a web app, but not WPF? If you take something like Infragistic ASP.Net tools, then...
I hate infragistics with a passion. So IMO no. (sorry to be so negative, but they have cost me so many hours in wasted work...violence would ensue if i met the...
Really? Funny enough another task is to review Infragistics products and see if there's anything we can use to enhance our web UI. We either go with a rich ASP...
... Another plus for Silverlight is that it has cross platform support. MS is providing a Mac plug-in and Mono is providing the Linux plug-in (Moonlight)....
I don't know how true this is, but I've heard the mac plugin is only available on intel macs. Your right that is a bit of a sweeping statement, but imho...

[quote] I'm just saying your probably better off sticking with html unless you really do need a rich interface. [/quote] Agreed. On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 11:29...
Thats the simple question. Can I get a rich web UI using WPF or is it pointless and better to stick with ASP.Net with rich addins like Infragistics? It seems...
AFAIK - to use WPF in a web environment, you need .NET 3.0 / 3.5 on the client, whereas to use Silverlight (which is essentially a subset of WPF), you only...
People are not using silver light because there are fewer pre made controls in the open market. [quote]Thats the simple question. Can I get a rich web UI using...
what?!?! if it is a client app, you can control the framework with the installer? how are you getting the app to the client in the first place? java apps do...
I was under the impression that it wasn't a client app, given that it is currently a web-app. I was also under the impression that it would remain a web-app, ...
I think there needs to be a clear distinction made... WPF = WinForms WPF/e, Silverlight = Browser based plugin, flash-a-like Just like you technically CAN use...
in the same way you technically can watch tv and drive... but you tend not to. ;-) On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 11:46 AM, James Gregory <jagregory.com@...>...
I have not heard of WPF being used in the the wb other than as silver light/WPFe. I know of several large firms using it as a replacement for the old winforms ...
