If you haven't already seen ScottGu's post on WPF/E, I'd recommend checking it out. WPF/E is a new technology that opens up incredible new possibilities for improving the richness and interactivity of the web. Scott links to a few demos, and the WPF/E install is quick simple, and even works on a Mac!
Adding a WPF/E component to your page is still a little bit of work though. To make it easier, I've created a simple Toolkit extender that automates this code so you can just create the extender and go. See the attached file below - there is a C# and a VB.Net version of the component (though if you're just using the extender, it doesn't matter).
To add WPF/E to your website:
<wpfe:WPFEHostExtender ID="wpfeControl" Runat="server" Height="350px" TargetControlID="Panel1" Width="350px" XamlPath="myWpfeControl.xaml" BackgroundColor="transparent"/>
That's it!

Kudos to the ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit team for creating a killer extender to simplify getting a "WPF/E" control
A few links I have collected for your WPF\E journey. John Rayner on WPF\E and IE security (this will
Nikhil Kothari has a sample that demonstrates Script# and “WPF/E” integration. Shawn Burke posted a Toolkit
Quick question: why does it have to be an extender and not a simple control?
No real reason - going the extender route was quicker since we have the templates, etc. for it. It could just as easily be a control.

Shawn, do you plan to update this for AJAX 1.0 RC ?
Thanks
Hello Shawn
Any plan for updating this(Toolkit Extender for creating WPF/E components) to ASP.Net AJAX 1.0 RC and WPF/E Dec06 CTP
Actual i was trying to compile WPFEHostExtender website and WPFEHost class library with ASP.Net AJAX RC1.
Any way i could compile WPFEHost class library by (1) changing refercences to new AjaxControlToolkit.dll and (2) changing Microsoft.Web.Extensions to System.Web.Extensions and (3) Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design to System.Web.Extensions.Design
Also for WPFEHostExtender website i did above changes but yes i get following error:
" Could not load type 'System.Web.Handlers.WebResourceCompressionModule' from assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'."
Yes i could successfully compile and Run WPFEHostExtender website using ASP.Net AJAX RC1 toolkit after removing lot many lines of code from web.config.
Following contetnts in Web.config were sufficient to run the xaml clock :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/></assemblies>
</compilation>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler" validate="false"/>
</httpHandlers>

</configuration>
While browsing today about the "WPF/E" i found a nice post that i thought to share with you, it's from...
