It would be an honor to be added to your list of notable WPF Controls. IdentityMine is about creating WPF Tools and Components for both Designers and Developers alike. Our first entry into the market comes with an abundance of field testing since they were created while in the trenches with large enterprise customers building real world WPF Applications. The first pack (what we call a mix) is the essentials mix.

There is also a very good 3rd party control company named Syncfusion. I've used their controls previously and was very satisfied with their libraries.

How about a XAML to SVG converter? I have seen a lot of converters from some graphics format to XAML but I need to go the other way. Do you know of any tool that converts XAML graphics to SVG?

Thanks.

C# WPF application: Is there a component or tool to create an interface just like Visual Studio?

Haiping — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:28:09 GMT

Hi Michael,

I am new to WPF. Your alticle gives me lots of useful information.

We need create a WPF application which is in C#. We want to our application GUI look like the Visual Studio. It has the

-- Tree view like VS's Solution Explorer and Class View windows. It can be hidden or floating.

-- Main window like the VS's editor window.

-- Error window like the VS's Debugger window.

-- Help window like the VS's help window.

We want know if WPF has some build in usercontols ( tree view user control? ) that we can use to build our application or is there a third party tool that can be used to build Visual Studio look like GUI?

Thanks for any help,

Haiping

Hi Michael

Being new to WPF it was great to find all these tools and controls under one roof.

Have you been keeping this up to date or are there more tools and controls now available?

Thanks

Vasu — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 08:53:29 GMT

Hi Mike,

I am using a various xaml paths (created by clipping using blend) for a particular object in canvas so as to allow some customisation to the various parts of the object.

Now, after customisation I need to store the xaml paths of the object to be converted as an image and display it for further review.

How do we convert a set of xaml paths of an object into a whole image of the object? Preferrable formats are png or JPEG?

All components feature advanced feature sets, exceptional design capabilities, consistent style, WPF framework cross-platform compatibility, and full Microsoft toolset compatibility with Visual Studio 2008 and Expression Blend.

SVG to XAML conversion using Inkscape

Ashish — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:17:42 GMT

Hi Mike,

Inkscape seems to have (somewhat limited) capability to convert SVG to XAML. I think it deserves a mention on this page. It works fine for simple shapes. I had little luck, trying to export complex graphics and gradients.

I wrote about it sometime back :

Hi there! A question for all you people working with .xaml. To be hones i hate it. I haven`t firgured out a way to open xaml to get it back to illustrator or even get it back to expression designer to edit it. Even MS says it`s a common request but not planned for the future. Am i missing something? Do you know any solution? Ah forgot something... the open source tool Inkscape does open xaml...but it`s a pita and crashes a lot. Any help would be highly apreciated. greets
