HTML5 or XAML

Glad it's working for you. "Windows OS" deployment is better these days. When you build a (UWP) app package, you indicate the devices you want: x86, x64, ARM, xbox. You get a package that contains all, and the Store deploys what the customer supports. There is also a certification step that will highlight any issues; which is usually a "branding" image that is too big.

:thumbsup: That's great to hear. I did try some of the UWP app building and deployment to MS app store and the packages do seem quite a bit better. It just felt that I didn't get much for it since there are no MS phones and I couldn't deploy elsewhere. Good to hear they're settling out the deployment challenges though.

You've answered my question in another way: no one apparently is using HTML5 for Windows "app" development (which is what caught my attention in the first place back then). Whether that means a desktop app that can run in a browser, I don't know. Seems I don't need to know.

Never say never: I might be the odd man out but I've been doing that for a number of years now. After getting tired of MS changing their UI tools I decided to stick with a browser and HTML. My apps include a tiny server, leave all the formatting issues to to browser and use JSON for communication between the two. With a few tricks, I manage to pack everything in one exe file and tell my customers to do installation in DOS fashion: you copy the file somewhere an run it. Do you remember those days?

Oh! Apologies my bad then. If your query was related to Windows App, no have not used HTML5 in windows app. I see WPF (XAML) being set as standard for any windows app in our organisation. Myself too is more comfortable with WPF app and don't even think of HTML5 in the mix.

Just because you asked: ?[^] That was five years ago ... which doesn't mean you still don't need the question answered ... I still need to know. (I turned to XAML because of it's WPF relationship and the fact that animating in FLASH was rumored to be childish and bad-habit-forming ,,, HTML5 seems to be some side-effect of secure HTTP web page development and who cares about such things as they neither can nor ever will be able to have effect there on.)

Also, (I mention this a lot) in 2002 I was running a PocketPC (from Dell) that I could use to edit MS-Word documents on and read ebooks. I loved that thing. I used it for 10 years and it worked great (no updates were fine). Anyways, at that same time another dev I was working with bought a phone that ran PocketPC 2002 and he used it every day. Apple didn't release their smart phone until 2007. MS was 5 years ahead and gave up!! :|

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

BCP is for machine consumption, not human / pretty printing. That's what Reporting Services is for.

A "few years ago" I had heard that HTML5 will revolutionize ... etc. I figured I'd better learn it, but never got motivated enough, or studied enough to decide if it was worth it. Frankly, I'm pretty happy with what I can do with XAML or UWP/WPF in general. Anybody else achieve HTML5 mastery?

IMO HTML5 is great, it makes life easier. XAML is clunky and illogical by comparison to HTML. I only use it because I have to support legacy projects. XAML is one of those technologies where Microsoft seemed to pointlessly re-invent the wheel, but as a square.

WPF is good, but he forgets to mention the most important point: HTML5 = platform independent. Plus rollout to live environments is so much easier. The only platform that is not 100% ready for HTML5 is mobile, but WPF is not mobile either.
