You're saying something about "ClickOnce" demos ... you mean Web Browser Applications or regular applications deployed using ClickOnce

"Click Once" architecture has a new concept for web applications. The applications is neither page embeded (like Flash or Java applet) nor is installed like an usual desktop application. The appication initially is downloaded and runs, when the user clicks a button on some HTML page, at a popup window. It goes to a cache. To run the appication another time the user needs to go back to the same page and to click the button again. If the application has a new version, only the changed part is downloaded. If not, it runs from the old cache version.
We are wrinting a new tutorials serie very very basic about WPF applications programming and, until now, we have only 6 lessons (more lessons soon!). But the "Hello world!" application is explained in details and there are a lesson about the publishing of the application using this "Click Once" paradigma. And you can run the application using a button in the page:

And there are another "Click Once" sample here at this lesson:

I believe that this is a better solution for webgames because, if we use a .XBAP file inside a frame of an HTML page, if the game has 5Mb or more and the user doesn't have a good ADSL line, it's not a good thing for him to wait the unknowed download. Here the user only clicks the button if he, knowing the size of the download and details of the game, accepts the download time. The site "shockwave.com" works using this concept (not WPF, of course).

And now we have a very basic lesson and a "ClickOnce" demo about the use of a web service from a WPF web application:
