Xaml Editor 2005 is intended for use by both Developers and Longhorn Enthusiasts, learning to code in eXtensible Application Mark-up Language. The application provides code autocompletion (as in Visual Studio .NET — IntelliSense), new-line auto-formatting, and much more. This way, writing XAML files is easy-to-understand and code — automatic enumeration choices makes it even easier to write Case-sensitive properties’ data. The editor has support for any Avalon CTP/release syntax — currently built-in are the November 2004 and March 2005.

Further development of the application will be focused on:

• WYSIWYG Preview Pane. (When Avalon bits are present only.) So developers and users can see the output on-the-fly.
• Format Validation. Makes you sure the written code is parseable by the Avalon XAML parser
• Enhanced Syntax Check.
• Support for bookmarking, Find/Replace dialog boxes, advanced code editor.
• Support for any other Avalon release (currently supported are the public November 2004 and March 2005.
• Help/Documentation.
• Integration of Documentation Module. Developers and users can look up definition for classes/enumerations/properties,etc. in a categorized system.

The application binaries (x86) are available here.
