    Hey, just wondering if there is a way of creating applets in C#? They must behave more or less exactly like those in Java, and run in either IE or Mozilla... Looked around a bit on google etc. but couldn't find anything particularly helpful or useful. Anybody got a decent book/website etc. that could point me in the right direction...


    Edit: If this is a dumb question then i apologise sincerely...

    No such thing as a dumb question.

    Pretty sure you can't, but I don't know c# at all. There's nothing technologically preventing such a thing (c# being compiled into a bytecode of some sort) but I just don't see any real need or desire for it.

    If you know c#, learning java will be a doddle.

    i know java, not c#... doing a project for company, boss man is insisting that it be done in .net, went with c# based on java experience...

    Any other suggestions?

    You could try WPF I think - they have some sort of web browser application model.

    WPF/E, now known as Silverlight.

    Isn't WPF/E windows only? That'd be a good way to kill a good proportion of your target market. Also, i think it may still be pretty much IE only.

    So that'd be a terrible choice (for the moment).

    Nope, its also definately on the Mac at the minute with demos and CTP on the Silverlight site, though it looks like its been left to the Mono team to bring it to the OSS world.

    Even still, WPF/E requires macos 10.4.8 or higher. That's a fairly small proportion of macos users i'd assume.
