How can I make WPF app to work on a web browser

We have an existing application written in WPF and we our looking for a way to migrate it so it will work on web browsers.

After digging up, it seems that we need to find a way to compile the code to webassembly, but I'm not sure how good it will work for an existing fully loaded WPF app.

Any idea on how to start?

Uno Platform could definitely help you port your applications to any browser using WebAssembly. The ability to do it depends on the way your WPF application is developed:

  • Are you accessing platform features through Interop or advanced libraries?
  • Are you using advanced XAML features only available in WPF? (MultiBinding, event trigger...)
  • Are you accessing network services directly, like an SQL server? (When running in a browser, you're subject to its security limitations like any web app) So, if your application is pretty self-contained or already accessing its external dependencies using http APIs, the migration to Uno should be straightforward.

You can try the get started on Uno at the following link: https://platform.uno/wpf/
