XamlPad is (mostly) dead. Long live Kaxaml!
If you've used XamlPad from Microsoft ... you probably have a love-hate relationship with it. You love it because it's reasonably quick at doing a proof of concept or test of a WPF feature. You love it because it's simple. You hate it because it has a bunch of odd quirks with the text editor, the fact that it really has only a few useful features ...
Kaxaml is a better XamlPad in many respects. It's got a bunch of nice little features including:
- Intellisense!
- A color picker (that is better than the one in Expression!)
- a scrubber:
- You can paste images into the editor!
- It can have multiple files open at one time
- Did I mention intellisense (and a color picker!)
The full announcement is here.
Pay attention to the default install -- it may change your default file handlers for Xaml files in a way that isn't to your liking:
A definite recommended add to your WPF/Xaml editing toolbox.
