Jeremy, Although I can't point you to any published resources, I can comment a bit on the use of WPF within a TS environment as I've been testing it for a while now in the realm of XP Embedded over TS coming from Longhorn server and from 2003 Server. I have not tested it with the ICA client at all. Since you mention that the prototype is in Flash is without much animation and that it does operate suitably in the environment I would probably say immediately that moving to a XAML presentation layer within a WPF form will probably be of little issue over TS/Citrix. The presentation tier will be the biggest issue with deployment of an application such as this as the rest of the logic actually operates very smoothly in a TS environment, I would say - without any qualitative data - that it will works more efficiently than 2.0 WinForms. I think that there are going to be some fantastic speed improvements on the handling of rendering when using 3.0 enabled clients and especially on Vista clients. Using WPF Remoting will transition us from sending a stream of bits from the server down to the client for an entire screen to directly sending XAML markup code down to the client and relying on the LDDM scheduler on the client to handle rendering for the application - definitely giving enabled environments some really cool stuff and doing it quite fast. So far, I haven't seen any situation where WPF has shown a dramatic decrease in performance on a full screen TS session on 2003 Server load simulated with 20 clients and 1 live client when using *simple* WPF Forms. The problems start occurring when I have enabled the cool stuff in WPF - 3d, animation, etc. - clients start having the same problem that flash apps have now. That is what my real concern with WPF on a TS session is. Mostly it becomes a problem of feature creep when those things are available - C-level exec's and marketing people start seeing the applications that are out there with the really cool 3d animated graphs and such that they want to utilize those rich applications in their environment bringing about forgetting about the TS environment implications. Then all of a sudden, we get into a situation where the TS/Citrix environment looks bad because it can't support all of the new cool stuff. Changing over to the latest and greatest release versions of servers becomes a reality at that stage, hopefully it's staved off long enough to allow them to budget it and short enough away to remember the fact that you have lodged your concerns about the environment. All in all, I would say that just as long as all of the stakeholders are aware of the implications of the fact that when an application is not served by the WPF Gateway that there could be a dramatic increase on server video resources and that the developers go very conservative when looking at the cool stuff with WPF you will have very good luck with WPF forms and no less of a server impact than on .NET 2.0 forms.
