[IronPython] Full forms editor with VS Express?

2007-01-12 Thread Mike Krell
Hey all,

My understanding is that it's not possible to use the full IronPython
integration with VS Express.  Given that, what is the best way to use
the full power of the forms editor from VS express but code the forms
and the rest of the app in IronPython?  I don't want to use any of the
(mostly incomplete) alternate form editors that are freely available.

Is WPF / XAML a help here?

We merely do the layout in the forms editor and make the components
protected rather than private. *All* the logic is done with IronPython.

Admittedly this works well for dialogs where you have no sub windows
etc, but you could design these separately.



I know you are busy with the book, but even an extremely simple example of
what you described would be a terrific blog post and addition to your
tutorial series.  I'll even buy you the beverage of your choice at Pycon as
a thank you.  How does that sound for arm-twisting?  :-)

Well... since my computer died and my editor just started mentioning 
deadlines it's going to be difficult.

On the other hand, I want that beer. ;-)
