Application framework for building Rich Internet Applications with Silverlight.
Silverlight.FX focuses on providing building blocks and controls that allows applications to be naturally well-architected.
Features include:
- Application Model: features a richer Application object providing a service model, an IoC container, support for theming, view model (M-V-VM), navigation and MVC, amongst various other features.
- User Interface Components: provides a small set of enhanced controls, support for Forms and Windows, master page like containers, layout controls and data-bound controls.
- Declarative Views: provides a framework for writing behaviors, actions, triggers, and commands, and also provides a set of out-of-the-box implementations.
- Effects and Transitions: provides a procedural animation framework capable of implementing tweens and interpolations and easing behaviors. Additionally it provides simple but broadly applicable animations that can be applied as effects and transitions to standard controls in a fully declarative manner.

Adobe/Macromedia Flash to XAML conversion tool.
SFW2XAML allows you to open a SWF file and browse through its frames one by one. When you've found a frame that you like, you can either export a XAML file or copy the XAML to the clipboard for easy pasting into your tool of choice. The conversion isn't perfect, and there are many areas for improvement. For common cases, however, it should do the trick.
Features include:
- Frame by frame advance
- XAML export
- Save frame as bitmap
- Launch XAML file / Launch original SWF file
- Copy XAML to clipboard
- Go to specified frame
- Stage clipping
- Wireframe mode / Onion skin mode

C#-based library for easily programming images, animations, interactions, and visualizations on WPF.
Bling is oriented towards design technologists, i.e., designers who sometimes program, to aid in the rapid prototyping of rich UI design ideas. Students, artists, researchers, and hobbyists will also find Bling useful as a tool for quickly expressing ideas or visualizations. Bling's APIs and constructs are optimized for the fast programming of throw away code as opposed to the careful programming of production code.
Bling as the following features that aid in the rapid prototyping of rich UIs:
- Declarative constraints that maintain dynamic relationships in the UI without the need for complex event handling.
- Simplified animation with one line of code.
- High-level functional programming constructs for graphics programming including abstractions for textures, pixel effects, transitions, curves, surfaces, height fields, normal maps, and 3D/2.5D lighting.
- Experimental support for Direct3D 10 pixel/vertex shaders.
- Pixel shader effects without the need to write HLSL code or boilerplate code.
- Experimental UI physics engine for integrating physics into user interfaces.
- Library of geometry routines.
- As a lightweight wrapper around WPF, Bling code is completely compatible with conventional WPF code written in C#, XAML, or other .NET languages.
