WPF fits with CAB in only the sense that it is possible to create a WPF
based window that can be hosted within the CAB structure.

Thanks.. I'll continue to research.
Can you tell me where WPF fits in with CAB? Also, what is the "Smart
Client Software Factory" and how does it relate to CAB?
Thanks!

If your product is going to be around for a while, then I'd say
investigate
it.
There is a startup cost (learning curve) with it. Its not "read this in
5
minutes and you got it".
Luckily there are some decent labs that you can get with it.
But if you want anything to do with plug-in parts (on the windows of your
winform app), its worth a look for sure.

If you tell me to continue to explore CAB, I will.
So, with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) out, is that a successor
to
CAB or totally separate?
Thanks for any guidance.
