In this webcast, we explain how to use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Extensible Application
Markup Language (XAML) Browser Application (XBAP) technology to create your own electronic greeting
cards using custom text, vector graphics, and photos. We demonstrate how you can make announcements,
party invitations, or birthday cards using photographs and simple animations. “WPF/E” is the codename
for a cross-platform presentation technology for rich Web applications that enable browsers to render XAML
in addition to HTML. The XAML that “WPF/E” supports is a subset of the XAML that is used by the
Windows Presentation Foundation. Although we do not demonstrate how to produce these greeting cards using
“WPF/E,” we do explain the relative advantages and disadvantages of using “WPF/E” versus
XBAP for this task. We also provide a detailed discussion of the limitations inherent in XBAP
applications, like browser requirements, security, and more.
