Is it Possible to Reflect the XAML Markup for VS2012?

Question

I have been looking at some components Microsoft use for VS2012, attempting to learn and use there approaches to extensible component design. Despite being able to decompile the C#, I cannot seem to find any way of looking at the XAML mark-up, is this possible?

Note. I have attempted using Snoop but this does not seem to be able to provide the relevant XAML.

Thanks for your time.

You could use a commercial Reflector with BAML Viewer to convert BAML resource of assembly to XAML.

Also you could use a free dotPeek decompiler. Since 1.1 version it has a feature to view BAML resources without any additional plug-ins.

At last you could use a open source ILSpy decompiler to solve the same problem.
