XAML Power Toys 3.3 Released With New Class Browser

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 a video covering the new features in v3.3.

This version of XAML Power Toys is compatible with Silverlight 2.0 RTM.

New Features In v3.3

You can now select a class by using a class selector;  see image below.  You open the class selector by right-clicking in the XAML editor.  This is supported for the “Form, ListView, DataGrid” command and the “Field List” command.  In previous versions you were limited to right clicking on a file in the solution explorer.  If that file had two classes, it would only select the class with a matching name.  This feature also allows selecting classes in referenced assemblies that you may not have the source file to click on.

Added the Change Grid To Flow Layout command.  This is very similar to the Chainsaw except it does not remove the x:Name or Name properties.

Fields List enhanced again.  You can now select to include the Grid.Column and Grid.Row attached properties if you’ll be dragging the field into a Grid.  This just save you from typing them.

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.
