Summary

A tutorial on how to use XAML as an object creation and initialization langauge.

Excerpt

"XAML can be confusing - especially if you think it is a markup language like HTML - it isn't. XAML is a, mostly declarative, object instantiation language – that is it’s a way of describing using XML what objects should be created and how they should be initialised before your program starts running. If you keep this in mind then XAML is becomes a lot more transparent and easier to understand. Its use in conjunction with WPF is just one of its many possible applications and indeed it has started to appear in other places – Windows Workflow for example. To explain exactly what XAML is this article works with custom classes that have nothing to do with WPF so that we can find out about XAML in a completely general context."
