So, yah I know they said it just cannot be done, databinding and codebehind is not part of WPF/e, but I tenderly interject my opinion.  I have created a module for DotNetNuke, that loads dynamically from a nested folder (hard to make all JS and XAML work in nested folders BTW) and I have got databinding to the database, returning not only complete business objects using the ScriptManager to load a webservice, which returns the business objects as a strongly typed class.  In turn the properties of this object can include images (returned using an ashx defined in the xaml) or any other type.

So, all that is said is not true.  Or it changes, but whatever... I am getting closer to an answer to my question.... CanWPF/e do it for me within a DotNetNuke environment?  Let's find out what it can do, and cannot do.

I have tried to port several of the examples included in the sdk to VB / DNN and i am finding the JS and XAML file references in the JavaScript need to be modified to match the folder the module is loaded from, and it so far only works if i hard code the path. will update you when i find a work around for this one.

the videoplayer is giving me greif.  the onload commands are bombing somewhere in the AjaxHistoryManager calls...

the UrbanSprawl app is working OK but the {downloading} control doesn't ever stop displaying, and when you type in your name it doesn't load the gameboard, but it also won't let you type your name in again.  So something is not loading right, but it's really frustrating when you A). CANNOT DEBUG IT and B). IT HAS NO INTELLISENSE.  GOD.. can't Microsoft do any better???  I mean, yah OK, so it's all beta and brand new and everything, but really.. what (other than loading xaml in lots of javascript) can WPF/e do for me if it's so hard to work out.  I mean, at LEAST give us some documentation to make up for the lack of debugging tools!
