XAML browser applications (XBAPs)

· XAML Browser Applications run in an IE sandbox with "Internet Permissions".

· XAML browser applications (XBAPs) provide the advantage of both web applications and rich-client applications.

- XAML browser applications (XBAPs) have access to the rich features of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) runtime. In addition, XAML browser applications can be deployed in a web server similar to a web application.

· To build XBAPs, we need to use the subset of WPF elements that is compatible with Internet zone permissions.

- XAML browser applications (XBAPs) can be deployed from a server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) or later.

- It is not necessary to have the WPF runtime on the server to deploy WPF applications from it. However, it requires the WPF Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types and file extensions to be registered.
