Can Silverlight be used in a windows wpf application?
1 answer
Silverlight can be developed using WebDeveloper Express (with addon ) IIRC - so you don't have any built-in licensing costs, but it would be easier with Blend and VS Pro or higher. Of course WPF can be developed with C # Express , so it's free too!
But they are fundamentally different products; Silverlight is a thinner version designed for cross-platform use with RIAs - natively in the browser, but now also outside the browser with Silverlight 3. WPF is Windows / .NET 3.0 specific, but has a richer infrastructure.
