Body
We are starting a new project and I'm trying to decide which of the Wpf-esque develop/deploy strategies we should go with. In our case we are looking at quite a complex business app that will be used by 100s (not 1000s) of people, So I'm leaning towards a click-once app. My boss likes the idea of a Silverlight app as it means easier deployment. So which way should we jump? The answer is, of course, "it depends". So what are the pros and cons of each? I'll start the ball rolling (Edit Added in some answers from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1013/artur-carvalho" title="artur carvalho">artur carvalho</a>): <hr> Silverlight <ul> <li>Pros</li> </ul> Cross browser Doesn't require full framework. Better control of users. If your users login, you dont have to worry with activation keys or similar stuff. It works on Windows and Mac. You can update all your users apps easily. <ul> <li>Cons</li> </ul> Can't interact with client's file system etc Has less functionality compared with full Wpf (anyone got a good resource that documents differences?) Single window Single version <hr> Wpf Web App (xbap) <ul> <li>Pros</li> </ul> Full Wpf. <ul> <li>Cons</li> </ul> Single browser Requires full framework Can't interact with client's file system etc Single window Single version <hr> Wpf Click once <ul> <li>Pros</li> </ul> Full Wpf Can work offline Multiple windows Multiple versions (con?) Better access to low level parts of the computer No downtime for maintenance <ul> <li>Cons</li> </ul> Single browser Requires full framework Slightly(?) harder to install.
