Detailed XAML specifications published by MS

March 26th, 2008 | WPF

bookMicrosoft published 2 documents yesterday that detail XAML Vocabulary and Object Mapping.

WPF XAML Vocabulary Specification & XAML Object Mapping Specification. Combine they span 633 pages.

*Edit: I originally posted that these documents were authored on 2006. But as Rob Relyea pointed out in his comment below that’s not the case.

Don’t let the 2006 fool you. We call it that because we are documenting the rules of Xaml 2006 and WPF 2006.
The Xaml Object Mapping Specification can be thought to apply to .Net 3.0 and .Net 3.5.
The WPF Xaml Vocabulary Specification is meant to include all WPF types expressible in Xaml that we shipped in .Net 3.5.
So, no, we didn’t really write those documents 2 years ago…we just are focusing on the “2006/07″ releases we’ve done.
Thanks, Rob
