XAML Toolkit CTP

29. November 2009

At PDC 2009 it was announced (a little under the radar) that the CTP of the XAML Toolkit had been released. This kit is designed to make XAML analysis a much easier task.

The bits that are included with the November 2009 CTP include:-

  • XamlDom – A XAML DOM that is LINQ friendly.  Enables easy static analysis.
  • XAML FxCop integration – A BaseXamlRule implementation that allows you to write custom FxCop rules that target XAML.  We’re also shipping a couple of simple ones including a ValidationRule that will validate your XAML.
  • SilverlightSchemaContext – A XamlSchemaContext that allows System.Xaml to parse Silverlight XAML for tools use. 
  • UISchemaContext – A XamlSchemaContext that allows you to go between .NET & Silverlight XAML.  This allows you to write custom FxCop rules that can be written against one framework but works against both platforms.
