Hello,
allow me to hightlight the latest news about XUL
(XML UI Language) from Windows-land.
* Microsoft Publishes Windows Forms Markup Language
(WFML) For Today's .Net
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

* MyXAML - BSD-Licensed Open Source XUL Motor For
Today's Windows.Net Now Live
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
