Creating a sample XBAP Application

Step 1

Start Visual Studio 2008. Click File -> New -> Project. Select the Windows item inside Visual C#. Then choose the WPF Browser Application template and create a project. This template is basically used to create XBAP applications.

Step 2

Inside solution explorer double click the Page1.xaml. Paste this line between the <Grid></Grid>.

<TextBlock Text="This is my first XBAP application." Background="LightGray"

    Foreground="DarkOrchid"></TextBlock>

Then build your project.

Step 3

Next go to your Debug folder of your Application. Double click on the .XBAP file to run it. It will open in a browser window. If your default browser is not IE or FF then copy the Url from other browser window and paste it in your IE address bar. (because XBAPs run only in IE and FF) You will see the following output. If you get a “Trust Not Granted” error then you will need to disable the PopUp blocker in your browser.

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.
