DataBinding tooling: keeps getting better
2010 continues to find Silverlight/WPF in a very good place, and the beautiful thing is that we have so many people, in Microsoft, and outside, making it better.
Reading some folks on twitter pointed me towards Karl’s blog post about d:DesignInstance and d:DesignData and ondrejsv’s post about Sample Data in Blend/SketchFlow.
Blend and VS 2010 continue to grow their capabilities to make WPF/Silverlight databinding easier. The platforms have strong features, but getting great tools magnifies the impact of a strong platform.
Meanwhile Bea Stollnitz continues to do great blogging around data binding.
While I love XAML, DataBinding is likely my favorite feature in WPF/Silverlight.
Sorry for the rambling…(but I’m happy with our progress/direction here.)
