DSL Tools VS2010 Beta1: ModelBus Sample

  • Article

One of the most common asks from customers of the DSL Tools has been support for integrating models and designers, that is the ability to have models of the same or different DSL cross-reference one another, and the ability to write simple code that exploits these cross-references to implement interesting interactions between designers.

In VS2010 we’re providing this support which can now be previewed in VS2010 Beta1 release. Jean-Marc has just posted a sample (StateMachineOverModelBus.zip, documentation) that illustrates how the modelbus can be used to achieve the behaviors described above, and I’ve just posted a short video demonstrating the behaviors and giving a quick insight into what you need to do to realize them in your own designers.

Details on how you can provide feedback can be found on our the DSL Tools Code Gallery landing page. Or by all means provide feedback on this blog.

    Hi Stuart, I'm not sure if anyone is monitoring the discussions on the code site but I have posed a problem and some questions there. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/DslTools/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=1828 Thanks, Pete
