I think since XBAP is running under internet zone, the security permission imposed by CAS will not allow you to open a new Window from XBAP.

XBAP stands for Xaml Browser Application, Internet Explorer uses PresentationHost to host WPF content inside web browser.

long time since I have posted here but seeing that Jamie movie just inspired me to do so.
I have to ask why you would want to launch a window from XBAP ? why not just launch a normal window from HTML and the host the XBAP content within that window. From what I saw in the video it did not look like XBAP was ment to build applications in the sence that we see web applications. To me it seemed more like a competitor to something like Flash and is more in the order of presentation. While you could build a full on application I am sure, just as you could with Flash;I think its main idea would be to stay self contained, atleast thats what I got from the video. someone can correct me if I am wrong.
You would just host the content within the XBAP; now one could I am sure see something like pop-up menus etc.. and maybe that would be self containted inside the XBAP iframe but I did not see anything that said it would load up a window or anything from the outside. just as flash does really. -

A short addition to this old thread since it might be more accurate today:
The XBAP is hosted within some kind of PresentationHost but this only hosts the base of the application. To open up a window from this PresentationHost isn't a problem at all since it runs real WPF inside. This is at least true for .Net 4.0.Best regards

Poor old XBAP...never had a chance once Silverlight came around.
Brings up a good question though...can you host WinRT apps in the browser?

XBAP applications can't be run from the Internet zone anymore btw, although you can still run them from a local intranet (or if you click through the "yes I'm stupid and I don't mind if my computer gets exploited" dialog).
WinRT apps won't be able to live natively in the browser (otherwise Microsoft would have to allow any website to read/write to disk for example), but javascript-WinRT projects should be much easier to port in both directions if you wrote some kind of abstraction on top of javascript/WinRT and called those APIs.
