This is not quite ready, but I just had to give you a sneak peek:

I believe this is the first blog presented in XBAP. The possibilities are endless… The tag cloud uses Kevin Moore‘s Bag-O-Tricks. The HTML is being rendered by a modified version of the Windows SDK Team’s HTML to Flow Document converter.
I’ve written a Community Server web service that allows me to pull all the data and bind to it.
Note that this was compiled in RC1 (waiting for Vista RTM in MSDN) but it seems to work on .NET 3.0 RTM.

It appears you can call WCF web services now, which I guess makes things easier. My problem is I still don’t know enough about WCF to really make any use of it. I was wondering if you could put together a sample that calls an external API such as Live search and returns a users search to them. That would explain how to make actual use of an XBAP in my opinion. Either REST or SOAP it doesn’t matter that much as long as I can interact with an external API. Thanks for writing this really informative post!
Hi Robert,
I’ll try to post a sample next week.
