At the TechEd chalktalk that Ashish and I tag teamed earlier this week, I demo-ed the Woodgrove Financial Application as an XBAP. I also showed loose XAML and an embedded FlowDocument inside of an HTML.

loose XAML with vector graphics (link)

Woodgrove financial app w/ 3D chart as xbap (link)

html page with FlowDocument in IFRAME (link)

Try try out the app.

The last scenario (FlowDocument in HTML) is particularly compelling:

  • You can leverage your existing site.
  • If you have your article content in XML, it’s easy to create another XSLT transform to XAML.
  • Your content continues to be viewable by everyone, with a better experience for WPF users.
    • Use javascript or server side script to determine the useragent string. (See SDK for example of former.)
    • If user navigates to the article with a .NET 3.0 browser/machine, you’ll get html + FlowDocument. Otherwise, you’ll get html + html.
    • Try it out: link
