Embedding WPF in HTML5

Ideally I want to build an HTML5 site and embed some WPF controls. Is this possible or does the entire site need to be WPF? When I do a search for this I mostly get articles about embedding HTML into WPF.

Thanks!

You’re talking about two completely different concepts. WPF is Windows Presentation Foundation, and is not a web enabled concept. You’ll need to look into asp.net controls which generates html content.

I wasn’t sure if a WPF control could be embedded into HTML like Flash. I’d like to generate my own HTML content and embed charts (which I currently have in WPF form) in the HTML. If embedding isn’t possible (which you make it sound like it is not) then I’ll go a different route. Just trying to save a little development time.

It used to be, and that tool was called SilverLight, which is now pretty much dead.

You would be best to find a different route at this point in time.

That’s right. Silverlight tried to compete with Flash and both were pretty much done in with HTML5.

Thanks.
