Size matters in Silverlight. In one click you can reduce the size of your Silverlight apps up to 70% and secure your code with obfuscation. Add ComponentOne XapOptimizer to your dev cycle with build automations, backups, and limitless options. With XapOptimizer, you can:
•Customize the Optimization Output
See what's going to be removed from the assembly before it is actually removed. You can also manually "Pin" some elements to keep them after the optimization process. You can now pin entire assemblies, namespaces and resources. See Pruning Tab for details.
•Obfuscation
•Choose to enable or disable obfuscation and choose the specific elements to obfuscate. Obfuscation is the deliberate act of making your source code difficult for others to reverse engineer. See Obfuscation Tab for details.
•Sign Assemblies
•You can specify strong-names for the assemblies in the application. You can choose whether to sign elements in the assembly and which specific elements to sign. See Signing Tab for details.
•Save Projects and Create Backups
XapOptimizer allows you to save projects allowing you to reopen the project at a later date or easily try different options. It also has the ability to automatically create a back up version of the file to be optimized. See Saving a XapOptimizer Project and Customizing XapOptimizer Options for details.
•Integrate with Your Build Process
•Integrate XapOptimizer as part of the build process in Microsoft Visual Studio. This is easy to do using a post-build event to automatically optimize your app every time you perform a release build. Note that previously you could use the /cmd command line argument to run XapOptimizer in command mode for batch runs. Now, you can use the separate XapOptimizerCmd.exe application included in the XapOptimizer installation. See Adding XapOptimizer to the Build Process for details.
•Use with Any Third Party Controls
Use XapOptimizer with any Silverlight assembly including third party controls; it is not restricted to ComponentOne controls.
•Silverlight 5 Support
XapOptimizer now includes enhancements to support Silverlight 5 applications as well as Silverlight 4.
