VS 2008 SP1 includes several significant
improvements for WPF projects and the WPF designer. These include:
·
Several performance improvements
·
Events tab support within the property browser
·
Ability to sort properties alphabetically in the
property browser
·
Margin snaplines which makes form layout much
quicker
·
Better designer support for TabControl, Expander,
and Grid
·
Code initiated refactoring now updates your XAML
(including both control declarations and event declarations in XAML)
·
Go to Definition and Find All References now support things declared in XAML
The debugger has also been updated in SP1 so
that runtime errors in XAML markup (for example: referencing styles,
datasources and/or other objects that don't exist) will now be better
identified within the debugger:
