How to put WPF forms in to ASP??

Question

Hi,

I might be missing something here or mis-understand the whole purpose of WPF.

 

We have a, ASP.NET and a Windows Application (.net 2.0) running, but recently I read about WPF and I would like to try it out for the first time.

 

I am using VS2005, and installed all the required extensions.

I created a Windows Forms which gave me in .XAML format along with some button function and vb code behind.

 

My question is how do I make this .XAML that i created to be shown on the ASP.NET page?

 

I thought the idea of WPF is that it can share different platform between desktop application and ASP, but I seems I am missing something here?

 

Basically I would like to create a user control and be able to use this in both the Desktop application and ASP webpage.

 

Thanks,

Jon

WPF interaction with ASP.NET is pretty limited this link shows you what you can do with WPF:

There is also a way to turn the WPF into an activex that can be used by ASP.NET, but it seems like a hack and I don't have the link.

 

You may want to look at Silverlight, a subset of WPF (formerly known as WPF/E).
