• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML code and C# code kept in sync

  WPF is obviously a step in the right direction in enabling developers to make modern UIs, however Windows Forms still has quite a few advantages, the built in designer for once. Cider does not cut it (yet! ), and far less features then Blend. Blend and Visual Studio collaboration still has a long way to go also. I understand the need for XAML (to enable designers to do the ui without the need of strong programming skills) but for certain people like me developing dynamic UI in c# code is so much more intuitive and easy. Since XAML code is parsed and converted in c# code anyway, isn’t there an option to be able to edit this c# code directly (currently it is generated automatically from the xaml file so the modifications will be lost ...Show All
