Since today XamlResource.com is officially in beta. Its purpose is to create a platform to find and share resources for Silverlight and WPF, resources in the form of Xaml. Have a look around and if you run into issues, please let us know at xaml@hotmail.nl.

Beta 1:

In Beta 1 only a few of the final categories are supported:

• Colors; Resources of type SolidColorBrush
• Gradients; Resources of type GradientBrush
• Color sets; 2 to 5 resources of type SolidColorBrush
• Vectors; Resources of type StreamGeometry

This list will be extended with Styles, Themes, Templates and Shaders.

Future plans:

• Adding tags and searching by them.
• Access to the site from within Expression Blend
• Client side validation of entered xaml using Silverlight
• Automatic generation of preview image
• Download multiple resources at once in one ResourceDictionary
• An rss feed for news items

If you have requests for features you can let them know by using http://XamlResource.uservoice.com. For anything else, send an email to xaml@hotmail.nl.
