Hi,

What is the relationship between WPF and ASP.NET ?

Is that WPF going to replace WinForm based desktop applications? But for web
application, it is a different story?

I am going to develop a web project, ocz I'd like it to be supported by most
web brewers. I know asp.net render basic html of client side, so it is not a
problem. But will WPF .xbap file be as popular? And is it just a client
technology? If so, how can it interactive with ASP.NET?

And are there WPF newsgroup?

Thanks!
Ryan

Two different UI technologies.

There is a push for WPF to replace desktop, as it is richer and separates UI
from business rules and data access.

WPF for web applications is called Silverlight.

I think you will find Silverlight 2 to be more popular than XBAP.
