I did some basic investigating on this a while back. Some of the options worth considering...
Option 1: Distribute xaps, and use isolated storage. Option 2: Use the IE control in a .NET framework, host the app in it with an internal web server in the background handling the HTTP calls. Option 3: Use Mono to leverage your SL skills, to develop Moonlight apps that take full advantage of the .NET framework (without the security limitations of SL). This probably isn't much of an option, but its there. Personally, I'm probably going to go down the Adobe AIR route. Not really that excited about the limitations of Flash (lack of threading and a crappy IDE being a big ones), but it does offer a better experience for offline apps, not only for developers, but also for users. Plus it has proper cross-platform support, now (AIR for Linux was taken out of beta recently). 2008/12/29 Muhammad Niaz <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > Can anybody let me know, if I want to develop pure offline App > using SL.
