Hello, Adam Kinney (of Team Xamlon) has kicked off a discussion titled "What is XAML?"
Adam writes: I've seen some talk about this recently and I've had it made it clear to me by Chris Sells (Microsoft) and Chris Anderson (Microsoft). This definition is actually straight from ChrisAn's mouth: XAML is a declarative markup language that defines an object model It's not Avalon. It doesn't have doesn't have controls, shapes, animation or transforms. The XAML is parsed and turned into an object tree in memory and from there its up to the engine to instantiate objects and whatever else is requested by the instructions.

Think Domain Specific Language done in XML. What's your take? Is XAML just a technique to wire up .NET objects? Is XAML a language like lets say HTML or SVG? Is XAML both - a technique and a language? Is XAML as sort of XML# or XML++? Is XAML for .NET only? Let us know what you think? - Gerald ----------------------- Gerald Bauer Rich Client Conference (RichCon) 2005 - http://richcon.com XUL News Wire - http://xulnews.com United XAML - http://unitedxaml.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ xul-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xul-talk
