Hi! It looks like you're new here. Welcome! If you like what you see, I encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you're worried about adding another RSS feed that will add to your information overload, don't! I'm not a prolific poster. Thanks for visiting!

This is a collection of tools that should be in every WPF developer’s toolbelt, if you ask me:

XAMLPad (from the Windows SDK [Full ISO|Express Web Download])
Snoop (from Pete Blois)
Perforator (from the Windows SDK) (Don’t forget to turn on the required debugging setting in the registry - mentioned in the article)
CLR Profiler
.Net Reflector (from Lutz Roeder)

If you’re a designer / developer you also want:

Microsoft Expression: Interactive Designer
MOBIFORM Aurora XAML Designer
Electric Rain Zam3D

And of course the staples:

.Net Framework 3.0 September 2006 CTP (I usually pick the complete installer to avoid download problems - it’s hidden a few paragraphs down under a link that says “for x86″)
Visual Studio 2005 / Visual Studio 2005 Express
“Cider” / “Orcas Preview for WPF”

Did I miss anything?
