Hello,
Marc Clifton (a C# hacker from Rhode Island) has
kicked off a new open-source BSD-licensed project over
at tigris.org titled MyXAML chartered to create a
XAML-style markup language and toolbox that lets you
build UIs for today's .Net using XML.
Marc writes:
Interested in participating in the development of
this technology? Join the open-source project @
myxaml.tigris.org This project is NOT intended to
emulate Longhorn's markup language (code named XAML)
nor the MSAvalon namespace. Rather, MyXAML supports
namespaces without using a DOM backbone, instead using
the property setters defined in the namespace classes
directly.
Marc is not all talk but has already a prototype up
and running and ready for download.
If you wonder what MyXAML looks like in action. Here
are two samples from the Code Project article titled
"MyXAML - XAML-style GUI Generator":
Defining A Menu Structure
-------------------------
<Menu>
<MenuItems>
<MenuItem Text='&File' Popup='OnPopup'>
<MenuItems>
<MenuItem Text='New'/>
<MenuItem Text='-'/>
<MenuItem Text='E&xit' Click='ExitApp'/>
</MenuItems>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Text='&Edit'/>
<MenuItem Text='&View'/>
</MenuItems>
</Menu>
Controls, Controls, Controls
----------------------------
<Controls>
<Button Location='225, 100' Size='80, 25'
Visible='true' BackColor='Control'
Click='OnMyEvent'>Click Event!</Button>
<Label Location='225, 50' Size='120, 40'
Visible='true'
