Icons are really time consuming for a graphic designer, I like this site: http://www.iconfinder.net as it has good quality free icons with a filter to show the ones allowed for commercial use. Even an API in there J
I started out thinking everything in Silverlight should be vector based XAML so it can scale to any size but found it way too difficult to create, I’m back to just using nice PNG images. That said if you get a kit of icons in a vector format then expression design should be able to convert them to XAML, when comparing filesizes remember that the xaml will be zipped. I do recommend comparing what the filesize will be in xaml vs PNG and whether you need them to scale beyond 128x128px or 64x64px size. John.

I can do them myself but I'm a bit slow and don't have a graphics designer by my side. I know there are plenty of converters, as well documented here, but you do need something to convert : http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/WPFToolsAndControls.aspx I also had hopes for this visio -> xaml but it doesn't work on my machine : http://visioautomation.codeplex.com <http://visioautomation.codeplex.com/> Or I am on the wrong track, perhaps icons are best left as pngs and I should just invest in an icon library such as http://www.iconshock.com/ and forget about it ? <http://sigads.rediff.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/www.rediffmail.com/signatureline....@middle?> Image removed by sender.
