Hi Dino,
thanks for the info.
Now, I'm wondering, how did you get the WPF designer to
work in the Integrated Shell version of VS? I don't seem
to be able to get it working (basically after choosing
the WPF IPy template to start with, nothing shows up). :(
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks Markus, for the explanation.
So, basically, if I buy the VS 2010 Professional, I'll get both, the IronPython
tools support as well as the ability to design WPF or WinForms applications?
There is no WinForm designer support in Python tools - we just have a simple
template for creating a WinForms app but you'll have to write all of the UI code
by hand. This is because the WinForms designer is actually very heavily built
around round-tripping statically typed code to generate the UI. We did do this
w/ IronPython 1.x in IronPythonStudio and someone could port this forward to
IpyTools if they really wanted to - but it was very ugly and involved lots of
decorators and other gunk to keep VS happy.
I just tried the WPF support in the integrated shell and that does work - here's
the screen shot to prove it: http://i.imgur.com/AWE62.png WPF is awesome in
contrast to WinForms because everything's in the XAML and therefore we just
need to add a little bit of integration to make the XAML load nicely in Python.
There was the bug in Beta 1 of PTVS where the toolbox was broken in the WPF
designer but this should just work with Beta 2 or if the original IpyTools.
But
either way VS Pro won't buy you much in terms of UI designer support.
