In terms of making a decision between WPF or Silverlight for an application does Silverlight have more graph/charting capabilities than WPF? Would this be a factor (in terms of additional cost/effort with WPF to build/buy charting components)
No Silverlight does not have any better access to charting tools than WPF. In terms of commercial components WPF is likely to have a wider choice of charts.
What might be considered Silverlight’s “native” charting components found in the Silvelight Toolkit are also available for WPF.
As far as factors to consider between WPF and Silvelight OOB it’s not an issue. The choice is much simpler than that.
If the answer to either of the above questions is yes then Silverlight OOB might be worth considering. If not then go with WPF the job is likely to be easier.
