Silverlight and WPF

Question

Hi friends What features are missing from Silverlight presentation markup that will be supported in WPF?

Satyapriya Nayak · Answer

Hi Akshay, Some high-end Windows specific features of WPF, such as real 3D, hardware-based video acceleration, and full document support, will not be supported in Silverlight . This is by design in order to serve Silverlight 's cross-browser, cross-platform reach scenario that demands a light weight plug-in. That being said, Silverlight will offer a uniform runtime that can render identical experiences across browsers on both Mac OS and Windows. Thanks

hi, WPF can not access mutiple operating system.Sliver light runs on Windows or Mac operating systems(via moon light). Silverlight doesn't support the binding mode, OneWayToSource, or Explict UpdateSourceTriggers. Silverlight defaults to OneWay databinding if none is set, while WPF uses the default mode specified by the dependency property. Silveright doesn't support MultiBinding. Silverlight supports the XmlDataProvider but not the ObjectDataProvider. WPF supports both. hope this help.
