.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2007AJAX and WPF
Does AJAX go out the window with WPF? (and or WPF/E and XAML )?? Thanks, T No. WPF is for windows applications, so no. Silverlight (aka WPF/E) compliments AJAX. It has the potential one day to swallow AJAX, but it is currently not positioned in such a way.  SignatureI hope this helps, Steve C. Orr, MCSD, MVP, CSM, ASPInsider http://SteveOrr.net > Does AJAX go out the window with WPF? (and or WPF/E and XAML )?? > Thanks, > T Not even close. ASP.NET AJAX is far more than just AJAX support; there is a huge, rich client library associated with it that extends ECMA script to a more object-oriented style (or, at least, makes it feel more OO to .NET programmers). IMHO, of the biggest mistakes Microsoft made in naming that framework was in calling it ASP.NET AJAX, because it made everyone think that's the only point to it.
