I can't determine if the SDK is wrong or the implementation. Here is the issue:The SDK states:"WPF/E supports the concept of a bubbled event for input events such as mouse events. A bubbled event is an event that is passed from a child object and is forwarded upwards to each of its ...

I haven't seen a list of planned features for WPF/E but are there any plans to add input controls such as a textbox (and textarea type control), button, dropdown, etc.? I know that gets into a whole different realm but I think to truly make WPF/E something capable of more than just fancy ...
I've been playing a lot with creating dynamic XAML lately and while I'm a big fan of XML it can definitely get in the way when large chunks of a WPF/E document need to be added. Since WPF/E integrates nicely with JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX can be used, is there any chance that you're ...
If I have the coordinates for an ellipse is there an easy way to animate a specific object around the ellipse's path using a story board? Or, would I have to do all that via JavaScript? I see there there are key frames but to be honest I'm not real sure where to start there or if that's even ...

Hello Community! I was recently trying to evaluate why there is seemingly two ways to write web-based applications with WPF. Am I way off? Can anyone explain to me when I would use an XBap over a straight up WPF/E application? Thanks, Alan
<P>Having support for Mac, Firefox, Opera and Safari is terrific news for WPF/E. The elephant in the room though is Linux support. If Linux were supported in the next CTP, this would be unstoppable. </P> <P>--Oren</P>
