posted

Is there any way to use WPF components in aspx pages.?

We are using infragistics grid of asp.net 2.0 now we are trying to migrate to .net 3.0 so we need some methods which will do this migration as well as replacement of components such as xamdata grid?

it will be helpful if someone could provide steps to convert asp.net 2.0 site to 3.0?

    .NET 3.0 included WPF, but WPF isn't an 'upgrade' to ASP.NET.  WPF applications are client-centric and run entirely on the client side as stand alone applications.  You can continue to use ASP.NET 2.0 controls inside of .NET 3.0 or 3.5, as the frameworks are backwards compatible. 

    If you are looking to migrate from ASP.NET to WPF, there isn't a direct migration path, as the two environments are quite different.  The XamDataGrid can be used to fit your classic grid needs, but the architecture is going to be rather different.

    While there is no way to host a WPF control in an ASP.NET page, you can use a subset of WPF inside of an ASP.NET page which is called Silverlight.  Silverlight provides a lightweight architecture which can be used to embed XAML in a web page, by use of a Plugin. 

    Hope this helps,
