Quick question...

Where does .NET 3.0 Windows Presentation Foundation fit in with ASP.NET 2.0??
Is WPF in .NET 3.0 a replacement for ASP.NET 2.0?

Regards

Steve
 
..NET 3.0 (WPF) has nothing to do with ASP.NET 2.0.

..NET 3.0 (WPF) is used to create Windows applications, ASP.NET is used to
create web applications.

It is true that you can create an application in .NET 3.0 that can be
executed from within Internet Explorer, but this works nothing like ASP.NET
does.

ASP.NET compiles code on a server that gets executed at the server and
renders content to HTML that can be read by any web browser (the client).

..NET 3.0 compiles code to an exe (or similar file) that must be downloaded
to and executed by a Windows computer with .NET 3.0 installed (the client).

As you can see, .NET 3.0 and ASP.NET serve different purposes and are two
different technologies - one does not replace the other, they compliment
each other.
