On Friday night I lit my hair on fire cranked up the jams and spent the weekend adding full support for Silverlight 2 RC0 to XAML Power Toys.
XAML Power Toys is a multi-AppDomain Visual Studio Add-In for WPF and Silverlight developers that provides features to Visual Studio to enhance the XAML editing experience and the laying out of forms, DataGrids, ListViews.
I have updated the XAML Power Toy Home Page with the latest source, installers, documentation and of course videos!
Silverlight developers you will want to watch at least two of the video on the XAML Power Toys home page; Installation and Setup and the Silverlight Features. This will help you get up and running real fast and visually see how productive you will become when your toolbox has XAML Power Toys in it.
Current XAML Power Toys Users
Current XAML Power Toys users, please upgrade even if you are not a Silverlight developer. I have made many fixes and corrected things I didn’t like and increased stability even more.
WPF developers, you do not have to install the Silverlight RC0 bits if you don’t want to. The only reason for installing Silverlight RC0 is so that you can do Silverlight development prior to the RTM and because the XAML spit for Silverlight projects is RC0 compliant.
All Developers
This week Pete O’Hanlon will be posting a complete walk through for using his MO XAML Power Tools Add-In to very quickly create Silverlight friendly business object and then use XAML Power Toys to lay it out. Thanks Pete for doing this!
Get It Now!
Visit the XAML Power Toy Home Page and get all the newest goodness!
Have a great day.
Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.

Hi Karl
I love this Product
It has saved hours of coding and testing and left me more time to do and explare the truly interesting aspects of WPF
I ran into an issue with the latest (3.1.0.2) that you may want to look at
Once I installed the latest version I have not been able to crerate a form.
I get an error stating the secondary app domain cannot be created.
Uninstalling and Installing 3.0 did away with the issue and allowed me to continue using this incredible tool.
I do not have the Latest Silverlight installed which may be the reason for the problem
Thanks for looking into this (if you get a chance)

Bill,
Remove the old version and install 3.0.2.
After installing but before you use it, open and save your settings.
This will solve your problem.
The next version addresses this.
Thank you for your kind remarks.
Cheers,
Karl
