How to choose

WPF applications are basically for windows client applications. Silverlight and XBAP are designed for web applications. So if you are targeting for only IE and Firefox then choose XBAP. Otherwise Silverlight is the best option as it can be run in any browser. XBAPs also require .NET framework 3.0 in user's machine. So if you are creating an application for your company or intranet where each machine has the .NET framework, then go for XABP.

Hello Ithyan,

XBAp apps run in partial trust mode. So they can't use WCF services in .NET framework 3.0. But framework 3.5 has some improvements over 3.0. So in framework 3.5 we can use WCF in partial trust mode for.

Thanks.
