I believe you are talking about Avalon. Availability...couple years, if not
longer.
Actually, I believe I that have heard of a company offering a package to do
what you are talking about. I don't recall their name. They are basically
(as I understood it) promoting their package as a way of playing around with
Avalon without having to wait for Avalon. You might try doing a Google
search. Maybe a search term something like "Windows XAML". You might also
try checking Xtras.net as they carry a pretty good selection of 3rd party
software.
If you keep your requirements pretty simple, it may not be too hard to
implement your basic implementation. Something like this for creating the
controls:
for each element in the document
determine the control's type
create the control
set the control's size and location
next element
And then to get the data:
for each control
append the Control.Text to the data
next
return the data

Hello All,
I was just curious to see if there was some analog to XSLT in WinForms.
I'd like to be able to have my data be defined in XML, then process it
with some kind of style sheet/transformation to dyamically "render"
forms and their constituent controls on-the-fly.
Would XAML fit this description, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks In Advance!
