"WPF/E" Web Programming Model XAML and JavaScript in a web page Access "WPF/E" via JavaScript Support inline and external XAML/script XAML and.NET Framework code "WPF/E" hosts an x-platform.NET runtime Code (C#/VB.NET) is compiled into an intermediate language (IL) IL is run in a secure and “managed” environment "WPF/E" loads external package containing IL and XAML
External Package <html> </…> </html> default.wpfe contains: default.xaml (compressed) It may also contain: Other XAML files XAML and script files Resources (images, media, fonts, others)
.NET Programming Model Web page plug-in loads external package Web Page: <html> … … </html> sample.wpfe: sample.xamlsample.il External package contains XAML and IL The container is loaded into the "WPF/E" plug-in
