How to create a WPF application which works both in Windows and Web

I am going to start a new (Right-To-Left) WPF project and the Main reason is to provide a single UI for the application in Windows and Web.

What Should I consider?

Which WPF Controls should/shouln't (can/can't) I use?

Do I Have to Use Silverlight? (I'm not interest)

Should I use XBAP project orWindows Project with Page base modules?

TIA

Your choices are indeed XBAP (WPF Browser App) and SilverLight.

You can easily google to find lots of comparisons, here is a short and simple one.

You main decision factor is your target audience. Do you want to support the Apple platform and maybe even Linux? Then use SilverLight.

If you're sure you only have Windows clients (Web and Desktop) you could use the more powerful WPF. But do write the WBA first so you don't run into permission issues later.
