Depending on the version of Windows and the security you will need to either right click on the dll and if you see and '''!UnBlock''' button, click on it and try again. If the '''!UnBlock''' button is not present you will need to modify the manifest file named `dyalog.exe.config` that is located in the same directory as `dyalog.exe`. The manifest file should look like this (if not present you will need to create it and add it to the directory while in administrator mode):

Overview

XamlEditor is a Xaml editor for an APL variable or for a file on disk. This user command is able to show the Xaml in color with folding, print it, reorganize it so it is more readable according to some settings set by the user. It is inspired by the work of Robby Ingebretsen of Kaxaml (http://www.Kaxaml.com). It is particularly valuable for APLers that like to keep their Xaml in the workspace. With XamlEditor they have a tool to maintain it without effort.

Usage

Once installed the user command can be invoke by typing ]XamlEditor (casing is not important, no argument). The following start-up screen will appear:

  2. Copy the file wpfXamlEditor.dyalog to your user command directory (for advice how to organize your User Commands see UserCommands/WhereShouldTheyGo).

  3. Copy the file ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.dll to the same directory as your dyalog.exe file (as shown by doing +2 ⎕NQ'.' 'GetEnvironment' 'Dyalog')(you may need administrator privileges for doing that). That dll is free of charge and was written by Daniel Grunwald. It can be downloaded from CodeProject or from AvalonEdit but is included in the zip file for commodity.

The settings for scrubbing are saved in a xml file named XED.Settings.xml. The file will be created automatically the first time the user command runs. It will be located next to the wpfXamlEditor.dyalog file or in the AppData directory depending on the Windows version and security. The data of the file looks like this:

<Settings>
  <EditorFont>APL385 Unicode</EditorFont>
  <EditorFontSize>14</EditorFontSize>
  <ReducePrecision>0</ReducePrecision>
  <Precision>10</Precision>
  <AttributeCounteTolerance>2</AttributeCounteTolerance>
  <ReorderAttributes>1</ReorderAttributes>
  <RemoveCommonDefaultValues>1</RemoveCommonDefaultValues>
  <ConvertTabsToSpaces>1</ConvertTabsToSpaces>
  <SpaceCount>2</SpaceCount>
</Settings>


It is used to build the Settings window (button Settings24.png of the command bar).
