Question

How do I create a WPF application that will be hosted in a browser?

Edit

Answer

A browser-hosted application is similar in many ways to a regular (installed) application, except that it needs to work within the restrictions imposed by the Internet Zone permission set, which means (among other things):

• It must only use the subset of WPF elements that work with this permission set (1).
• It must not perform filesystem IO.
• It must not access the registry.
• It cannot use unmanaged code.
• It cannot launch new windows.
• It cannot display standalone windows (e.g., dialog boxes).

(1) For a complete list of elements that are allowed, see http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wpf_conceptual/html/55ca384d-fd7d-490e-9846-020b1d032483.asp
