Kaxaml Status
I got an email this morning that asked if Kaxaml development had been discontinued. The answer is a big huge no way, Jose.
That said, it’s been a long time since I dusted off the Kaxaml source. Here’s where we are: 1) Unfortunately, Kaxaml is just a hobby so it always takes a backseat to real (read “paying”) work. 2) I really want to release a new version based on the .NET 4.0 xaml parsing stuff. I wanted to ship that in beta before MIX, but my workload may keep that from happening. We’ll see. 3) The current Kaxaml “beta” actually does support Silverlight 3 even though the website implies that we’re just barely there for Silverlight 2. Sorry Kaxaml. You know I think you’re the best, right? Let’s totally promise to get together soon. Call me.

Fantastic! I too thought that you and Kaxaml had an ugly divorce or something but to know that you are still on speaking terms is exciting. Keep up the good work!

Not sure how feasible this is, but I’m wondering if support for multiple versions of silverlight could be attained more easily using Jeremiah Morrill’s SilverlightViewport: http://silverlightviewport.codeplex.com Cheers!

Very glad to hear that. I’m using VS Studio 2010 beta and have been limping along with a .NET 4.0 version of KaXAML I cobbled together from some old soure you had on one of the source sites (SourceForge or something like it). It works, most of the time, for what I need but I’ll be very happy to see a new official version that fully supports .NET 4.0.
