Scriptable MyXaml with NVelocity

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

Chanwit Kaewkasi (from Thailind) writes in the blog story titled
"Scriptable MyXaml with NVelocity":

I'm very impressed by MyXaml at first sight. Creating GUI with its
declarative programming style is very useful for me. My idea is to
generate .NET GUI of Hibernate's Beans via reflection (see last post).
After surveying some template generators, I've found CodeSmith,
TahoGen, and NVelocity. I've selected NVelocity because it's under
Apache license. CodeSmith cannot be distributed with MyXaml (because
of it's GPLed). Alternatively, you can wait for TahoGen. But now I
have a working .NET UserControl of MyXaml that dynamic. :)

Here is a screenshot(click to enlarge):

Code snippet:


<GroupBox def:Name="grpNavBar" Text="test" Location="8,8" Size="150,150">
<Controls>
#foreach ( $item in [1..3] )
#set( $loc = $item * 25)
<LinkLabel def:Name="lnkTest${item}" Text="test" Location="8,
$loc" Tag="Test" />
#end
</Controls>
</GroupBox>

What's your take? Do you plan to use XAML templates for code generation?
