Vista - WPF on WindowsCE

08-02-2006

I have asked that question - and somebody else as well - before. Mayby
I will not get an answer, but I hope will!

We are really about to make a decision what technology to use as a front
end for our visu system. I somehow like the SVG stuff, but XAML is
defenitely a more complete solution. We will do the Windows CE 6.0
integration soon. But what about WPF? Any plans microsoft?

Would be nice to know.

It is my understanding that a subset of WPF known as "WPF/e" (WPF
everywhere) will me made available for Windows CE too.

That's correct, however WPF/E is not WPF. The programming model, for
one, will be different. Also, only a subset of the objects will be
supported, as you state, most notably 3D will not be available in WPF/E,
at least not in V1.

Everything Microsoft says so far shows that it won't be possible to
simply remove a few objects and replace a WPF application by a WPF/E one
which will run on browsers and mobiles. WPF/E is a different type of
animal, made for plug-ins and with other kinds of interactions with the
host, communication with the server, etc... It will be necessary to
choose early in the project which model you want to use, the WPF one or
the "everywhere" one.

HTH,
Laurent
