XAML - what is legal?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I'm trying out the latest version of MS Expression - this is the latest Silverlight 2 compatible version. 

If I load the sample markup associated with the MarkupPad (wikimedia for example) in Expression I get loads of errors where there is no whitespace between tag paramters. Having fixed that Expression complains about invalid properties, e.g: Setter Property=" Margin". Is this to be expected?

The reverse case also fails. If I load Expression generated XAML into MarkupPad I get errors about the root element (Window in this case) being wrong. 

I'd expect the parser to ignore any unknown tags ... is this not the correct behaviour?

Thx

Jerry
