Hey Don,
IMHO, that is one of the major drawbacks
of SPARK and XUL.
But that's not SPARK at all. That is one of the benefits I see of
SPARK over XUL or similar type languages. If you need a control, you
can add it fairly easily. There are predefined controls in the sense
that if someone

Doesn't matter. I can create custom objects and use them in the

So, SVG could have an important role in the future, but only as part of a
bigger story, taking its place within more powerful--and yes,
abstract--languages. It certainly does *not* have a future as an

Great comments! Some clarifications
XAML on the other hand would use XML mark-up to create an Avalon-
based input
box, initialise it with values, give it styling, and so on. But
despite the
angle brackets, it would still be a procedural paradigm. (And need

Hi Ron.

Hmmm. Nope as declarative as XForms and SVG, no different.
So if you don't need C#, then what happens when you click on that
button? What hooks it to the application? What is the application
code written in? Where does the application
XAML is the technology that hooks the XML to the application (aka
business object).
When you click on a anchor tag, do you have to write the code to open
the link? Nope, the rendering engine knows what a click on an anchor
tag means. This is why this is called declarative code and not
Hi Don.
So you really want to write an entire application in X(A)ML? Could
you write a program even close to as powerful in XAML as in other
languages? What happens if you want to do something that isn't in the

Hi Alastair,

Hi Don,
Our Aurora XAML Designer application is written entirely in C# with
XAML. One of the cool features we are building in is the ability to
select a *Theme* for the user interface. This is done using XAML and
Styles. The application logic is still a .NET program; the UI and
styles
That is exactly what I was trying to get at. I understand that XAML
provides UI controls in a similar fashion to SPARK. This just gets
straight back to what my original statement was (though it was
originally done only have seriously):
XAML does not provide UI Controls. Avalon (the new

With that product in beta, it will be interesting to see what MSFT

Don,
XAML - Extensible Application Markup Language. It is a
markup language that can be used to express ANY .Net object.
I highlight ANY, since it is not just for the new .Net based
graphics API known as Avalon. You will be able to use XAML
to create your own Domain Specific Languages

That was the first thing I looked for, and no, it does not. Plus, it
says it imports Illustrator and Photoshop files, but I can't get it to
import the CS version of those files. :( Already
