If you have the choice to deploy a WPF app, couldn't you ship something using chromiumembedded to get the benefits of a web app without worrying about browser compatibility? In the past, I've even dropped a CEF WebView into WPF and had the UI in HTML/CSS/JS.
- mu_killnine 12y agoPerhaps. I am not familiar with the project. But if you've already got a captive audience able to run anything .NET 4.0 and above (incl. async/await via Bcl.Async libraries) with the rich experience of WPF, why bother shoehorning a web application as a solution? Our users are in a manufacturing environment, on a well-known environment. It's practically like developing for a gaming console. And in that light, WPF seems to be a good fit.
- emodendroket 12y agoI have pretty limited experience with desktop stuff (mostly Winforms) but with the SPA frameworks now it's about as expressive and deployment issues go away (which is nice in a small shop where you can't just foist them on someone else).
- jenscow 12y agoThis is what I'm doing. We're able to produce a standalone desktop application and a web app using the same code and have it looking/working exactly the same, on different platforms.
