XBAP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs) are programs that run inside Internet Explorer. Programs written in this way run in a partial trust sandbox, and are not given full access to the computer's resources. This sandbox is intended to protect the computer from malicious applications. Starting an XBAP (pronounced "exe-bap") from an HTML page or vice versa is seamless (there is no security or installation prompt). Although one gets the perception of the application running in the browser it actually runs in an out of process exe different from the browser.
