How to use EPS files in a WPF or Silverlight application?

I have a few images in EPS format which I would like to use in my WPF application. Is this possible?

If not, is there a way to convert them to XAML so I can use them directly in WPF? I don't have a budget for Expression Design or Adobe Illustrator, and there are only a few images to convert.

What is the best program to open EPS files?

Adobe Illustrator is perhaps one of the most common ways to open and view an EPS file because of how popular the Adobe suite of apps is. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based 2D graphics creation and editing program from Adobe, a prominent developer of programs for graphic design.

Are EPS files used anymore?

EPS is still in use, but it is essentially an outdated file format that no longer evolves. For exchanging logos or drawings, it has been replaced by the native file formats of Adobe applications. Adobe has made it easy to drop a native Illustrator or Photoshop file in an InDesign document.

You can use Inkscape http://www.inkscape.org/. It will allow you to import EPS file, but you'll need to have GhostScript installed for that. Inkscape uses SVG format and will allow you to export from SVG to XAML.
