Wow, we've taken everything we ever learned about developing with a graphical IDE and thrown it out the window. Welcome back to 1985.

One more platform, language, syntax that WE DONT NEED.

Does it need a custom browser to run the application?

Tell me the basics. What does this application do. I understand XML and it has tags and attributes. And can be used for formating, similar to HTML, or Word. But exactly is the point. Where do you use this, on a web page? PowerPoint? Create a Demo? An advanced Powerpoint?

Hi, my company just started using WPF to develop HMI for our plant.. So i need to learn it.. But I am very new to all this. So sorry if my question is a bit dumb.. but where can i get the WPF SDK? microsoft sites were not helpful.. and i believe the XamlPad is an extension that comes with the SDK, correct??

@visje19 According to MSDN: "XAMLPad is installed with the SDK and can be found from the start menu at All Programs/Microsoft Windows SDK/Tools/XAMLPad."
