->Silverlight uses a particular implementation of a XAML parser, with that parser being part of the Silverlight core install. In some cases, the parsing behavior differs from the parsing behavior in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF- is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0. Designed to remove dependencies on the aging GDI subsystem, WPF is built on DirectX, which provides hardware acceleration and enables modern UI features like transparency, gradients and transforms. WPF provides a consistent programming model for building applications and provides a clear separation between the user interface and the business logic), which also has a particular implementation.
WPF:
~~~
Windows only
Requires 50 / 200 MB .NET 3.x runtime
Steeper learning curve
SILVERLIGHT:
~~~~~~~~~
Cross OS, cross browser
Small download (approx. 4 to 5 MB)
Reduced feature set
Sandboxed – Secure but limiting
