Extensible Application Markup Language - Differences Between Versions of XAML

Differences Between Versions of XAML

There are four Microsoft main implementations of XAML:

  • The Windows Presentation Foundation version, which is used for the .NET Framework beginning with .NET Framework 3.0
  • The Silverlight 3 version
  • The Silverlight 4 version
  • The Windows 8 XAML/Jupiter version

These versions have some differences in the parsing behavior.

Additionally, the XAML parsing between Silverlight 3 and Silverlight 4 is not backward compatible. XAML files which are accepted by Silverlight 3 may not be accepted or parsed differently in Silverlight 4.

Famous quotes containing the words differences and/or versions:

    “The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
    —Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    “The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
    —Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
