"WPF/E" Features Demo
12
"WPF/E" Web Programming Model
XAML and JavaScript in a web page
Access "WPF/E" via JavaScript
Support inline and external XAML/script
XAML and .NET Framework code
"WPF/E" hosts an x-platform .NET runtime
Code (C#/VB.NET) is compiled into an
intermediate language (IL)
IL is run in a secure and “managed” environment
"WPF/E" loads external package containing
IL and XAML
13
External Package
<html>
<body>
<object/embed id=“wpfehost” size=“…”>
<param name=“source” value=“default.wpfe”/>
<param name=“startuppage” value=“default.xaml”/>
</…>
</body>
</html>
default.wpfe contains:
default.xaml (compressed)
It may also contain:
Other XAML files
XAML and script files
Resources (images, media, fonts, others)
14
.NET Programming Model
Web page plug-in loads external package
Web Page:
<html>
<!-- … -->
<object/embed source=“sample.wpfe”>…</…>
</html>
sample.wpfe:
sample.xaml
sample.il
External package contains XAML and IL
The container is loaded into15 the "WPF/E" plug-in
“Managed code” programming model
sample.xaml:
<Page Name=“p1”>
<Button Name=“b1”>Turn Red</Button>
</Page>
sample.cs (becomes sample.il):
b1.Click += new EventHandler(Button1_Click);
void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
p1.Background = Brushes.Red;
}
16
"WPF/E" Controls
Basic controls
Input, Button, CheckBox, RadioButton
Canvas, Grid and Stack
Rich styles and template support
