VS2005 FormsDesigner, Framework 3.0 and XAMLHi
Does have someone installed FrameWork 3.0 on VS2005 und used the Formsdesigner zu build XAMLs. How does this work with the old 2.0 and new 3.0 Controls? Hallo,

The new one is called Cider (codename), and can be used to design XAML files visually, using WPF controls. WPF and WinForms have nothing in common, but it is possible to integrate WPF controls in a WinForms application, and vice-versa. The technology allowing to do that is named "Crossbow", you can look it up on Google, there are examples available. I didn't install the final version of 3.0 yet. Here's a hint: In the previous versions, to start Cider, you needed to right-click on a XAML file, select "Open with" and then "Cider". I don't know if they changed it in the final version. It was still the case in the September CTP (RC1).

Thanks a lot for these good news. The Crossbow sounds very nice, but it if really works in real live? Do you ever build an application in xaml?

WPF has only been final since last week. There have been CTP versions available for quite some time already. Me and my colleagues used Crossbow in a few prototypes with success. Note however that Crossbow doesn't work in XBAP applications. > Do you ever build an application in xaml? Not only XAML, rather XAML and code behind. XAML only applications have a limited application in my opinion. I have a few prototypes on my website http://www.galasoft-lb.ch > Greatings from Winterthur ;-) And greetings back from Stäfa.Laurent -- Laurent Bugnion, GalaSoft Software engineering: http://www.galasoft-LB.ch Private/Malaysia: http://mypage.bluewin.ch/lbugnion Support children in Calcutta: http://www.calcutta-espoir.ch  |
