I took my new Jing Pro account to task today and recorded a few videos about Kaxaml.  I’ve been meaning to record these for, well, about a year.  It’s been a really busy year!

There are a couple of Kaxaml features that you probably wouldn’t know existed unless somebody told you about them.  So far, I’ve told about three people.  Even if they’ve told three people each, we’re only at nine…so my hunch is that word is spreading slowly.

The first is an intellisense-like dropdown menu for snippets.  Then comes a cool "synchronize" feature in the ColorPicker.  And, last but not least, is the Paste Image feature which lets you past images directly into your XAML.

So, if you want to be a Kaxaml Pro, just check out the videos below (probably best viewed full screen).

Hey, Kaxaml lets you specify the folder that is used to hold images, but what is that folder relative to? I eventually found that it stores (on my machine, XP) under My Documents\XAML Documents, but sometimes, it stores it a folder called Images under my Desktop. I have not changed any of the Kaxaml settings. Is the folder relative the source .Xaml file?

Thanks
Rob

Hi,

I see you’ve been using Jing Pro. I’ve got a question about that. Have you ever tried publishing video’s created with Jing Pro to Silverlight? Maybe making use of Microsofts Expression Encoder or something similar.

Thanks,

Mark
