WPF in CF

[Ivan Ivanov]

Hi

Is anyone aware if Microsoft is planning to support WPF in the Compact
Framework? I know that they introduced the WCF in 3.5 CF but have not heard
anything about WPF. (or how about WF)?

Thanks
Ivan

No announcements have been made.

In porting WPF from .NET to .NET CF, a determination of what the feature
subset is must be set. Consider how big that feature subset must be in order
to be useful and useable and how the inclusion of that feature set impacts
the footprint of .NET CF. The same applies to WF (and how appropriate is
WF on a device?).

Full WPF is not very likely. It does sound like Silverlight is coming for
WinCE, but of course we don't know when that will be.
