Hi Gustav,

Some more info/samples of XAML, WPF, XBAP:

http://shamils-4.hosting.parking.ru/xbap/PostCard3D.xbap - MSDN XBAP sample
I tested online

http://www.wpflearningexperience.com/webcasts/babygreeting/XbapBabyGreeting.
xbap - XBAP online sample

Note: using XBAP needs IE (it worked also (partially) with Opera or FirFox
(can't remember now))

What can be done within XBAP sandbox frames/plug-ins running within browser
can be similarly or even in the more advanced way done for WPF FE client
applications or for SilverLight apps...

And here  are useful XAML "power toys" -
http://karlshifflett.wordpress.com/xaml-power-toys/ - I haven't used them
yet but I do plan to do that with a first good occasion - a business
application to get an interface developed using WPF....

Thank you.

Hi Gustav,

Yes, especially very advanced XAML declarative features allowing making
great looking user friendly interfaces with a few imperative coding...

Hi Gustav,

Here is a good sample:

http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2006/11/06/999502.aspx 

Many more can be found on MSDN and over Internet.

I'm developing a project with WPF client GUI here now. It's a great
technology.

You can create any kind of GUI using WPF.

In fact XAML, WPF, XBAP and SilverLight people say are currently becoming
mainstream technologies to develop rich user interface (for Windows)..

Thank you.

Hi all

Just curious, is anyone using the Windows Presentation Foundation (Avalon)
to create Windows apps?

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation 

Looks much to me like creating "browser styled" Windows apps.
Any good examples?
