NY Times Silverlight Kit is not just for Silverlight anymore… WPF support is now also included

Synergist - New York Times WPF Kit

“If you browse the source code for the New York Times Silverlight Kit, you’ll notice that there are two project that are not for Silverlight but for WPF applications.  It turns out that most of the code that will work in Silverlight will work in WPF applications as well so it took me about 20 minutes to build the NYTimesWPFKit.  the WPF Kit links to the source files for the Silverlight kit so the two kits are actually sharing code.

…

The significant aspect here is that the WPF and Silverlight kits share 99% of the same code (I didn’t do the exact calculation but if you look a the source code you’ll see what I mean). ”

Since I’m a budding WPF Dev (okay, budding may be a little much… more like wanna-be, wanna-be WPF Dev ;) because I’m a news junky and I just thought it was cool I wanted to make a note of this.

It’s also a very interesting study in WPF/Silverlight code reuse…
