SVG to XAML conversion tool

In response to my last post (gradients are kicking my ass) DonXML has uploaded versions of his SharpVectors project that will run on the WinHec build. I’ve just started testing it and so far I’m getting mixed results. Some of the gradients translate well and others don’t. It’s probably an issue with the SVG that Adobe is spitting out. Also from the SVG viewer the WCPD is not offering me the Markup option, only the container option. Anyway, it looks promising and it was awful darn nice of Mr. Demsak. Thanks Don.

There is a bug in WCPD in this build that requires you to set the default format as XAML, and then you can make your choice between container and XAML. If I remember correctly this was not the case in the PDC build.

Svg2Xaml is a simple port of the open source .Net rendering engine for SVG, called SharpVectors (www.sharpvectors.org). Since it writes to the GDI Graphics object, it was a simple thing to add WCDP support. Thank the rest of the SharpVectors team for all their hard work building an open source SVG rendering engine in .Net.
