Originally, I just want to make a simple application to test over the out of browser feature. However, I came up something more interesting and useful.
It’s very funny that I always need to create Dependency Property and Storyboard, but I can seldom remember the exact coding. That’s mainly because the code syntax is a bit lengthy and not so intuitive. Therefore, I always have to open some old samples and do some kind of copy and paste.
I believe implementation can become a lot more easier if I can organize those commonly used coding into a single application. This is the reason why this Silverlight Helper exists! So far, it includes the following functionality:
- Generating Dependency Property
- Generating Attached Property
- Create Storyboard using C#
- ASCII Table
I will continue to add more useful stuff into this helper in the coming days.

This is really useful.
BTW, you die a horrible death when you click on the ASCII item.

Cool.
On the DP side, I usually use the WPF DP snippit inside visual studio (right-click, snippets) it needs a change for the callback, but otherwise works well.

I use VS Code Snippets to that. Always handy ;)

Great tool and concept.
p.s. you spelled “experience” incorrectly in the app!

Yes, DP code is yuck and cut-n-paste abounds. Code-snippets are good when you first create a DP, but no use for changing name / type etc …
That is why I created some T4 code generation templates that create DPs based on an XML specification:

I find it really helps streamline my SL / WPF development.

^ REALLY USEFUL!
