    [...] XAML Power Toys – Karl Shifflett shares his XAML PowerToys, a Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Add-in which generates WPF XAML code (Silverlight support coming soon). It has a number of useful features, a particularly useful one is the Create Business Form which will be familiar to people who used MSAccess, in that it will take a business entity and generate a basic form for that entity. A useful looking tool, especially for me as I start to have a play with WPF. [...]

    Is there enough Xaml compatibility to use your power toys on a Silverlight project?

    This sounds really interesting. Please forgive me for being dense/impaired but I can’t find a download link anywhere on this page. Could you please direct me to it?

    Hi Karl. Really like the XAML Power Toys. However, it has one really bad side effect for me. It breaks all other GAT related tools such as Service Factory, Smart Client Factory, etc. It even breaks the GAT VS Template. Thankfully uninstalling the tool corrected the problem with no apparent other side effect.

    Here is a sample of the error you might see.

    Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An
    exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of
    recipe BindRegistrationRecipes. Error was: Action
    CreateRegisterReference failed to execute:
    Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.MetaGuidancePackage.Registration.Unb

    Norm,

    First, very sorry about that. The installer is not replacing anything in Visual Studio. Somehow, we are in .DLL hell.

    Can you try just running Add-In in debug mode? To do this, download the source in the above link, open the project and run it.

    If you have never done this or need help, I’m sending you my phone number in a private email and I can talk you through this. Takes about 5 minutes.

    Cheers,

    Karl

    akgnanaavel ,

    Can you provide more detail. I don’t understand the question or what you are trying to accomplish.

    Cheers,
