Hi,

I am currently in the process of upgrading an existing WPF application from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 8. One of the critical components of our application relies heavily on the "Microsoft.Expression.Effects" library for various graphical effects.

Given the significant changes and improvements in .NET 8, I am writing to inquire about the compatibility and support for the "Microsoft.Expression.Effects" package within this new framework.

Thanks,

Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay Kumar Jha ,

    Thank you for your question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft.Expression.Effects library is not natively supported by.NET 8. It was part of the Expression Blend SDK, which is no longer being actively maintained. To generate similar effects in your WPF application, you can use WPF's built-in effects, third-party libraries (like as SharpDX, AvalonDock).

    Thank you!
