1. Visual Studio 2008. Express Edition is free. But the story doesn’t end here…
2. Expression Blend 2. Current build is the December Preview. I’m guessing the next drop will happen around Mix08 in March. Does a much better job of visually editing XAML (for instance, elements in Resource Dictionaries) than the editors in VS2008.
3. Snoop. Probes running WPF applications. Extremely, extremely useful.
4. Mole. A Debugger Visualizer with Property Editing for WPF applications that plugs into Visual Studio.
5. Kaxaml. A lightweight standalone XAML editor. Has some nice features like the ability to “clean” and format XAML.
