WPF 和 Silverlight 的异同点

本文讨论WPF 和 Silverlight 的异同点， WPF 为微软主推的桌面应用程序(多为C/S结构)技术平台，而Silverlight是微软主推富客户端网页应用程序（多为B/S结构）技术平台。 

1． WPF 和Silverlight的类似点：

a.       都是支持Xaml 语言的

b.      都支持 DEPENDENCY PROPERTIES

c.       都支持通用控件 CONTROLS

d.      都支持ANIMATIONS  Storyboard

e.      都支持多媒体技术(MediaElement)

f.        都支持INK AND STYLUS， 这里是一段解释

Digital ink refers to a method of input using a stylus on a touch-sensitive surface. Tablet PCs, pressure-sensitive tablets, touch screens, and other electronic devices have the capability to create digital ink. In addition, the mouse may also be used as a stylus device, though it is generally more difficult to use in that manner.

 

2． WPF 和Silverlight的不同点

a.       WPF 为微软主推的桌面应用程序 (多为C/S结构) 技术平台，而Silverlight是微软主推富客户端网页应用程序（多为B/S结构）技术平台, 前者编写的程序一般由操作系统运行，但后者基本上是镶嵌在浏览器中运行的 。

b.      WPF Triggers  VS  Silverlight Visual State Manager

c.       Silverlight 使用字体时需要先下载

d.   .Net framework,  WPF是运行在全集的.Net framework之上，因此WPF在可以没有任何限制的使用.Net framework所有类库和程序集， 但Silverlight 是运行在一个精简版的framework之上，比如(有些集合类在ArrayList就不能在 Silverlight 中使用)：

不同还有很多，这里给大家介绍WFP和Silverlight异同的一个文档（Here is a great article about the programmatic Differences Between Silverlight and WPF）：
