XBAP Support in IE Edge

Question

I was building an WPF Browser application as such it requires many client specific functionality.

During debugging when i tried to run this application in IE Edge it starts behaving in buggy way i.e. it keeps downloading XBAP file in recursion again & again but when I saw the folder it does not contain any XBAP file.

My application works perfectly fine in IE11, I am not sure if Microsoft have removed the support of XBAP from IE Edge ????

I am wishing to have it cross browser application, any guidance / help would be much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards, Srujal Kachhela

Answer 1

Edge does not support XBAP, and never will.

Answer 2

Chronium based Edge supports XBAP

you need

msedge.admx in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions

msedge.adml in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US

run gpedit.msc and navigate to "Microsoft Edge"

"Configure Internet Explorer integration" --> Activate --> Option: "Internet Explorer mode" "Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List" --> Activate --> Option: point to a xml file like "file:///C:/EdgeSites.xml"

EdgeSites.xml

<site-list version="3">
