WPF/E Question.
-
Does WPF/E run in a browser with Java script and XAML? Or does it download an EXE from a server then run as a plug-in?

It is an ActiveX control like Flash. It can communicate with the DOM and your JS can communicate with it.

It's a plug-in that runs a subset of XAML. I believe JavaScript is used as the code-behind.

Why is it that when I want to run a WPF/E app on the web IE downloads some huge EXE from the website? If it uses a plug in why doesn't it just use JS and XAML?

I'm guessing it's probably downloading the plug in itself, not the actual content that it will eventually display. Unless you mean that windows vista demo wpf/e site someone posted about earlier which apparently uses a *lot* of wpf/e which would explain it's slowness downloading which I noticed as well. That site is not typical I think of the uses for wpf/e just a showcase.

Could be that it is downloading the .NET 3.0 Framework (or redistributable). The framework is an extra prerequisite download if you're not on Vista.

Its not, I have that installed. Its downloading something else. I have tried opening the xaml file its self through IE, instead of downloading a file it gives me an error about an exe not found in the same path as the xaml.
