Can you work with some C# framework like Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) in OS X without installing a virtual machine with Windows? For example, using Wine can run .exe and also creates a virtual registry. I can create other partitions on my hard disk using BootCamp and install Windows. I can create a virtual Windows using Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion, but it's not native working like another application in OS X running just one OS.
We can work in C# using MonoDevelop (now XamarinStudio) but can not work with WPF.
Then, you can install Microsoft Visual Studio on Mac and work with WPF and/or Silverlight?

You simply can't work with WPF outside the Windows platform. Before trying to work with WPF, I recommend this MSDN series of articles on what WPF means and other detailed specifications. Before working with something you must know what that thing is. Good luck!

Silverlight applications run on MAC OS in Safari or Firefox browsers Silverlight plug-in for MAC OS. Mono also has a version of Silverlight named Moonlight for Linux plarforms. No WPF on MAC OS. There is no development environment on MAC OS for Silverlight to my knowledge, just Silverlight apps running in browser.
