    Free Windows 8 Analysis Tool

    This free tool allows for comparison of different XAML dialects and utilized framework namespaces. Want to know if your Silverlight project will translate well to Windows 8? And whether your Windows 8 assets can be reused in your Windows Phone app? What about that WPF app?

    This tool provides metrics about the compatibility of your code. Note that this tool only compares types/classes and all their members. It makes no comparison of behavior differences between classes and members of identical names.

    Download the XAML Dialect Comparer here.
