Is XAML and WPF are really that cool?
I am considering WPF-ing a new component for one of are in-house projects. So I've done some reading, and to be sincere, I am not too excited.
Let's refine the last statement. I am very excited with the technology. However, I find the examples out there very annoying.
It all seams to be "Hey it's so cool !! I can do stuff IN THE MARKUP - woosh, god save XAML".
So I came across this post.
It is just great!! it shows how I can easily use only 13 lines of XML to show a grind ONLY if the source is not null.
Sure a lot more expressive and easy than, say:
if (source != null)
mySuperCoolGrid.DataBind();
DTD PUBLIC strings are case sensitive
I have just tried to do a xhtml validation on a site I'm working on (@ http://validator.w3.org), and I got some pretty wierd errors. It turned out the the DTD was not accurate, since the PUBLIC section contained lowercase characters.
So the right DTD for XHTML 1.1 is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml11/Dtd/xhtml11.dtd">
Now it passes the validation.
