Can you suggest me which is the best way to host my App online using the Databinding?

Thanks so much for your attention.

Answer 1

It sounds as though you'd want to convert your WPF application to Silverlight. Silverlight applications run in the browser, and contain a large subset of the WPF features, including XAML and Databinding.

While it's usually not an exact 1:1 port from WPF to Silverlite, it's close. There are many resources on the topic if you Google "Converting WPF to Silverlight".

If you've used MVVM or its ilk you might be able to get away with just modifying your .XAML files without having to alter the .cs behind the view. Googling around suggests many people have had to completely rewrite their views though, here is a walkthrough by someone who's been through the process of converting their WPF app to Silverlight.
