Testing WPF simple application on multiple web browsers

Question

I'm newbie in WPF/Silverlight world. In the first step , I developed a "Hello world" application and simply run it but the problem is application successfully run only on Internet explorer. When I changed my browser like chrome or firefox etc, application pop up a Save window which means browser unable to understand the filetype. I want to know any plugin required to smothly run my WPF project on different web browsers.

Answer 1

WPF browser based application can run in the IE and firefox web browser. One can use silverlight for implementing the WPf browser based application. But silverlight is the small subset of WPF framework. The machine running the WPF web browseer based application must be installed with the .Net runtime environment. WPF web browser based application ideally used for the intranet usages.

Answer 2

IMO, You are referring to Silverlight and not WPF WPF Applications are Desktop Applications and they are not made for Browsers.

And Silverlight is cross-platform, across browsers.

You can download and install the plugin from here,
