WPF/E 3D(like) photo app
Often times when I go through the WPF forums, I see people getting confused with WPF and WPF/E..... (don’t miss the ‘E’).. One of things that is on many of our minds is ‘why not xbap’. Chad summarizes the difference in his blog pretty well.
“WPF/E Applications
· Are cross-platform ready (Mac OS X and Windows)
· Do not require the client to have the .NET 3.0 runtime. Instead, WPF/E applications run within a browser plugin.
· Do not support code-behind
· Rely on JavaScript
XBAPs
· Require the client to have the .NET 3.0 runtime components installed.
· Are not cross-platform enabled. They will only run on Windows machines.
· Support code-behind
· Must run within IE (or use the IETab plugin for Firefox)”
I decided to get my hands dirty with WPF/E and its pretty simple. What you really need to get going is:
· WPF/E template for VS (comes with the SDK but needs to be installed)
· Expression Blend is nice to have.
No 3D support yet but you can get effects like the above pretty easily.
Code is attached :)
