[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 87673, member: 10347"] WPF apps can run within IE on windows and as a standalone app. The point of doing it for me wasn't to replace the web-interface, but to provide a good-looking, slick, responsive controller for the music module. Like I said, its really just a little experiment for me. ASP.NET will be around for a while, and the WPF app I'm thinking of isn't really envisioned to be a web-interface replacement, more a touch-screen controller. So don't worry - your ASP.NET reading will still be much needed :) Speaking of compatibility between browsers - like I said, I'm not planning this WPF app as a web-browser app (I just mentioned it because smirnuff mentioned WPF). However, Microsoft isn't really as evil as everyone seems to think, especially recently ;) WPF Everywhere (WPF/E) is planned for release on firefox (there's already been discussion between the firefox devs and MS about how to go about this), but its still to be seen whether it makes it past the windows barrier. WPF/E btw, is basically a cut-down version of WPF (no 3D features and some other stuff cut out - think of it as MS's version of flash). It would be unlikely that WPF would make it past the windows barrier - it relies heavily on DirectX. Sam p.s. if you really want to run full WPF apps within firefox, you can always use the IE Tab plugin :P [/QUOTE]
