mikeallen811 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'd love to purchase Affinity Designer, however, it doesn't solve the one problem that I need solved. That is to export into Xaml format. Xaml is the Visual Studio programmers version of SVG. Solve that one, and I'm sure you'll have lots of developers and/or UX developers wanting a copy of this software.

Staff MEB Posted January 4, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Mike, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) I'm moving this thread to Feature Requests section since it may become lost here in this section (Questions & Feedback).

nod74 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes XAML Export would be great. Should not be hard to add this feature, as you already have svg export. As AD can export svg you can use this tool to get XAML results: http://harshmaurya.in/vector-to-wpf-xaml-converter/ Quote UI Designer from Germany Currently switching from PS and Ai to Affinity Designer@https://twitter.com/thecircularcale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8610 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I am currenly using Adobe illustrator CC to export interface elements/icons to xaml for use in Windows WPF applications. When you add .xaml export to affinity designer I will switch to Affinity designer right away. I have to agree with Mike Allen. If you add that feature every windows developer will have a good alternative to illustrator to create vector icons and elements for applications. Major opportunity if you ask me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bearded Bird Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Please add this feature! The developers at my firm would love me if I could give them that.

sjt Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I totally agree with this suggestion. For me, it would move Affinity up yet another league. At the moment, I import vector graphics into Blend for Visual Studio by using Illustrator.ai files. That works perfectly OK up to Blend for VS2013, but Microsoft dropped the .ai import option for VS2015 and 2017, so I have to have 2 versions of Blend on my PC to do that. What I'd like to do is to use Affinity for the vector work, export to XAML, to use directly in Visual Studio. At the moment it's only possible to export to .svg from Affinity, then use a 3rd party converter. That's messy, and all the SVG to XAML converters that I've tried give a much less perfect conversion than the method I currently use. So that leaves me with having to continue to use Illustrator. So - please, Serif, think about giving this some priority? I think there are a lot of us who would love this extension to an already fabulous application. Maybe MS would sell the code, since they no longer seem to want it?...... The Bearded Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanlooverenkoen Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 So true!! Please add this. It is a pain to use multiple programs to get the right result. +1 for this feature. The Bearded Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithferion Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I wonder if using Expression Design for export purposes is any good considering that its develoment stopped years ago. Has anyone tried that yet? Best regards!

Drevo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 any news about xaml exporter? I think it will be great have xaml exporter in Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) +1 Now I am having the same problem, need a good program to draw but export to svg is heavy overhead. There still seems to be no possible way for a direct transfer into XAML or even "Microsoft Blend", even "copy as SVG" does not work ... sad ... PLEASE implement it !!!

MBC Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (Cant edit my previous post anymore) Over 1700 views for this post, seems to be a lot of people are interested in this feature, compared to other requests. Otherwise if you think it is a "very special" feature (only useful for programmers), would it be possible to get is as a "paid plugin" for some little extra bucks ? theconspiracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconspiracy Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 +1!! It's a pain to export to XAML right now, but there are several libraries that convert SVG to XAML. Could you please just implement one of those libraries and add a simple option "Save in XAML format" on SVG export? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 +1 I currently export to SVG, open in Inkscape and then export to XAML. It's a bit cumbersome, but works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie Rummersdorf Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Please add XAML export to Affinity Designer. It's really nauseating to export everything as .SVG only to open it in Inkscape to export as .XAML for use in WPF and in the new .NET. Since you already have a .SVG export why aren't you adding a .XAML export? It would make so many lives easier. This thread is 4,5 years old, .NET and WPF despite being declared since 2009 isn't dead yet and won't be in the foreseeable future. Please implement .XAML export. Thank you! theconspiracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
