What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A set of .NET assemblies extracted from SharpDevelop that embed a WPF/XAML visual GUI designer into your own application. It supports .NET Framework 4.5 and .NET Core/.NET 6 and is distributed via NuGet.
Use cases
- embed a xaml gui editor in my wpf app
- build a visual designer for xaml forms
- add drag-and-drop ui design to a .net ide
- create a form builder for a low-code tool
- edit wpf layouts visually at runtime
When to choose
- you need a programmable XAML designer inside a .NET application or IDE
- you want an MIT-licensed alternative to Visual Studio's designer
- your app targets .NET Framework 4.5+ or .NET 6
When to avoid
- you just need to design WPF UIs yourself - Visual Studio or Blend suffice
- you build non-WPF UIs like WinForms, MAUI, or Avalonia
- you need a turnkey end-user application rather than a designer component
