New Article: Amazing XAML

Peter Himschoot, Microsoft Regional Director for Belgium, has written another must-read article on XAML: "Amazing XAML". Check it out on our local MSDN web site.

.NET 3.0, formerly known as WinFx, uses XAML for describing and building object graphs. Windows Presentation Foundation (aka Avalon), for example, uses XAML for building the next generation user interfaces. In this article we will look at the XAML syntax (which is a lot more than simply XML) by building a maze sample, such as can be found in old-fashioned adventure games like Zork, etc... Please note that this article is not about Windows Presentation Foundation, it is all about XAML and how you can use it for your own applications. Some examples will use WPF when appropriate, but only to explain some of the concepts.
