Can a page designed and developed in windows Application (WPF) be added to a XAML Browser Application (WPF)?
(Or)
Can a windows Application (WPF) be deployed as a web site?

Hello,
To deploy your windows Appliaction wpf you may use Click Once. The user will open a web page with a button to install your app.
There is some constraints on the client side to use it but I thinks it's the same for xbap which is a kind of "online only" click once deployement.
I the pages you designed for windows application (wpf) are of type window you will not be able to use them as is in xbap.
If they are of type Page they could work but xbap run in the sand box so you might get some security issues.
Yes and yes, with some restrictions.
To be deployed on the web, the main container must be a Page, not a Window. However, you can have a windows (standalone) application with a Page as main container. In that case, a NavigationWindow is automatically created for you to run the application.
Also, a Page created for a Windows (standalone) application can be added to a XBAP application, no problems.
Note however that the applications running on the web have restricted permissions (partial trust, sandbox). Document yourself about these subjects.
To ease the porting from standalone to web, I recommend using Karen Corby's Flexible Application Template available here:

Thank you Gomata...
The Pages developed are of .xaml format and are working fine as far as the click once deployment strategy is implemented.
But now I'm to actually I need the same functionality and the look and feel to be presented in a browser...
