Microsoft XAML Toolkit is a set of libraries enabling easier manipulation and analysis of XAML for .NET 4.0 and Silverlight. XAML Toolkit includes:
- XamlDom – LINQ-friendly XAML DOM that enables easy static analysis.
- XAML FxCop integration – Run FxCop rules that analyze your XAML against rules.
- XAML FxCop rule authoring – A BaseXamlRule implementation that enables you to write custom FxCop rules that target XAML.
- SilverlightSchemaContext – A XamlSchemaContext that allows System.Xaml to parse Silverlight XAML for tools use.
The following features are new in the Microsoft XAML Toolkit CTP – July 2010:
- The UISchemaContext has been removed.
- The SilverlightSchemaContext now supports Silverlight Version 3.0, 4.0 and Phone 7.
- A SilverlightAssemblyHelper static class has been added to help with loading the correct Silverlight schema version.
- License terms permit usage in live operating environments (with some restrictions) and distribution of the toolkit binaries.
