XPF

XPF is a new layout framework for Microsoft XNA bringing structured layout controls to the world of XNA. Traditionally, performing 2D layouts in XNA has been the job nobody really wants and usually involves less than elegant code. XPF uses the layout paradigms of XAML based technologies such as WPF and Silverlight to ease this pain.

Use standard containers like the StackPanel and Grid to construct your layout and controls such as the TextBlock and Image to display your content. Set margins, padding, horizontal and vertical alignment just as you would in any other layout framework.

XPF is designed around the familiar Measure and Arrange layout logic of WPF/Silverlight and in the same way is extensible so you can easily make your own panels and controls.

XPF is now in public beta. If you want to try it out you can download the latest nightly build. You can read tutorials and find the latest information on our blog.

TryCatchLog

Developing with Silverlight is awesome – the speed at which you can get great looking RIAs to market is amazing. But what happens when your application is out in the wild and you’re not looking? Implementing application logging for server based technologies is tedious at the best of times, but doing it for client side applications such as Silverlight is a common problem that got our attention.

TryCatchLog plugs simply into your codebase and gives you instant application logging to the cloud. We provide the hosting, the transport and the analysis.

We’re busy working on the service right now, but if you’re interested in getting involved in our closed beta – drop us a line.
