Enable powerful WPF and Silverlight Design in your applications
Aurora is a .NET development toolkit for .NET developers who are building applications that have a design component to them, and need to produce WPF or Silverlight compatible XAML within from their application.

If you are seeking a simple inexpensive form designer for positioning text boxes and buttons, this is not the product you are looking for. If you are looking for a highly extensible, full featured design platform for forms or graphics design for Silverlight or WPF then you have found what you are looking for. Aurora is often chosen as a flexible alternative to Expression Blend or Visual Studio.

Aurora has been licensed into the software products of 3 Fortune 500 companies as well as the products of numerous smaller firms. It is an integral part of industrial monitoring applications, healthcare, e-Learning, and line of business applications.

Features:

Aurora is available in three flavors:

  • WPF Loose File - A WPF designer that can produce WPF or Silverlight compatible XAML as loose XAML files. Useful for applications that wish to save the XAML to a database, file system, or SharePoint.
  • WPF with Project Support - A WPF Designer that produces WPF and Silverlight compatible XAML. It creates, opens, compiles, and runs Visual Studio projects. It allows editing of the code behind with intellisense.
  • Silverlight Designer (BETA) - A Silverlight designer for producing Silverlight XAML from a Silverlight application.

Most features are implemented as a plugin and are optional which allows you to tailor the toolkit for your own requirements.
