Using CreateFromXaml() in WPFe? XamlStringBuilder could save you time!

  • Article

In WPFe JavaScript code, it's handy to be able to build up a xaml string dynamically, then call CreateFromXaml() to create the elements on the fly. What can be a pain is coding up your string buildup in JavaScript.

I wrote a quick tool (depends on 2.0 CLR) that allows you to type or paste xaml XML into a top pane, then generate the equivalent xaml string buildup code in JavaScript. You can then click a "Copy to Clipboard" button, return to your WPFe project, and paste in the string buildup code. (See attached file)

 Hope this is helpful!
