XamlPadX 4.0

So I finally got a chance to update XamlpadX and heres the new version.

Whats new.

  • The UI has been revamped to give the Blend sorta look.
  • Menus have been rearranged to maximize the space.
  • New addins: Clipboard viewer - which works well for analyzing rtf/xaml ... Path Designer/Jasema (thanks to Marlon)
  • Snapshot utility to take snapshots and save the xaml rendering
  • Syntax highlighting and collapsing (thanks to the editor control from SharpDevelop project)
  • Error logs - left bottom corner has a link to the stack trace when there is an error
  • Error light - editor has a red/green box at the bottom right corner
  • Bug fixes/code restructuring

Also, i would like to point out that you could create your own addins and add it to the xamlpadx toolbar at the top.

Download/Install: XamlpadX [On Vista, save to desktop, right click and Run as Admin]

Zipped file in case you have problem downloading the installable:Click here

I always thought the original XamlPad was a cool tool, at the time I was using it WPF was still in beta

Excellent update, but I do have one tiny request that drives me slightly batty... when I change the font settings for the editor, they're never remembered for next startup.  It would be great if it kept my 9pt Consolas for the next session :)

Great to see this still under development!

Hi, there's a big problem using Avast anti virus : "XamlpadX 4.0.exe" is infected by "Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}" and there's no mean to download it (Avast delete it).

Can you confirm the problem with other users ? Are you using something special that can be detected as a generic Trojan ? Is it possible the file is really infected on your blog server ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi Olivier,

I have confirmed that the file is not infected by running the Avast Anti Virus. I did a quick search on the net andd got yhe following "Avast may report the Win32:Trojan-gen. while installing new software if your computer is ready infected with the virus." A large number of people have downloaded it and hence its unlikely to have a virus.
