Family.Show is a free and open-source genealogy program written in C# and running on the .NET Framework.[5][6][7] Microsoft partnered with and commissioned Vertigo Software in 2006 to create it as a reference application for Microsoft's latest UI technology and software deployment mechanism at the time, Windows Presentation Foundation and ClickOnce.[8][9][10] The source code has originally been published on Microsoft's CodePlex website.[11] It has since been forked and development continues independent of Microsoft on GitHub.[12]
