I am new to wpf and asp, but I heard in a lecture that using wpf you can create browser applications. Those. if I understand correctly, then on wpf you can make a web page. Accordingly, the question arose: how is it better or worse than asp, and when, which is better to use?

    WPF for the web? You are confusing something. WPF is used to create desktop applications. Perhaps there are some dirty hacks that allow using this technology in web development, but this is obviously a losing option compared to ASP.NT, which was originally designed for web development. Perhaps you meant Silverlight, however, this is a slightly different technology, albeit related to WPF. However, contrasting Silverlight with ASP.NET is somewhat incorrect. And besides, MS has already announced plans to curtail work on Silverlight.

      +1 I will add only that ASP.NET is a server technology, and Silverlight works on the client side. - VladD

      It is possible to make the XAML Browser Application, another of the interesting dead ideas. But not worth it. - Oleg Nechitaylo
