Hello, Microsoft has published an article by Joe Stegman (Windows Forms Team Member) titled "Using Windows Forms Markup Language (WFML)" at the Official Windows Forms Propaganda site, that is, windowsforms.net
Joe writes: Windows Forms Markup Language (WFML) provides an extensible mechanism to add a markup model on top of an existing .NET Framework object model. WFMLs parsing rules can be summarized as “XML elements map to .NET Framework types and XML attributes map to Type properties (or events)”. This sample includes a WFML parser that dynamically generates an object instance tree from an XML file in WFML format. WFML includes declarative constructs for the following: * XML Namespace to .NET Framework Namespace mapping * Object Instancing * Object Identification and References * Property Sets * Instance and Static method invocation * Event Wire-Ups * Assembly References Now if you wonder what Windows Forms Markup looks like in action. Here's a sample: <wfml xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/2003/WindowsForms"; xmlns:wfml="http://www.microsoft.com/2003/WFML";> <Form wfml:root="true" Text="Basic Sample" Size="300,200"> <Label Text="Hello World" AutoSize="True" Location="10, 20"/> <method.Show/> </Form> </wfml> Full story @ http://windowsforms.net/articles/wfml.aspx Let us know what you think about Microsoft's latest initiative and post your comments to xul-talk. - Gerald ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
