WPF and Silverlight to the rescue

At last WPF and Silverlight technologies are giving some lights to web devs. It was always a challenge to develop rich media enabled applications using Microsoft technologies. Although Adobe flash was quite popular, but using ASP.NET to develop rich and interactive applications was always a challenging task. Thanks to WPF, Silverlight and AJAX technologies, which have changed the way how the web applications are developed.

Infragistics have developed a sample WPF app called NetAdvantage. Give it a go.. it's worth trying the app online. Truly a different experience.
