WPF is a three-letter-word, Silverlight an eleven-letter-word?

Finally I see the one who understand the absurdity of the questions "What's the difference between {0} and {1}"! It would be good to remove such questions, with proper explanation.

Start here[^] and here[^]. That will give you a start.

The gap is narrowing. Some libraries offer different approaches to the same solution. Silverlight can run in browser/desktop/Windows Phone and often runs in a security sandbox. WPF runs on Windows.

If you have a programming question that would put your concerns in context we could help with a more specific reply.

Cheers.

Solution 2

Main difference -

WPF runs on the .Net framework.
Silverlight runs on a subset of the .Net framework.
