Basically, you use DSL Tools to design a designer for a DSL. Some examples of solutions built using DSL tools include the designers for LINQ to SQL, Entity Framework, and the 2008 Class Designer. There is a designer for nHibernate that uses DSL Tools to generate your hbm files. Yes I know that 3 of the 4 examples I just gave were for O/RM tools but it's a perfect example of a solution that can be addressed with DSLs. http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment9http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment9Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:18:45 GMTHoward van Rooijen commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerHi, Have you seen some of the free frameworks that Francois Vanderseypen has been working on over the last few years? Unfold (WPF) http://www.orbifold.net/Unfold/ Netron (winforms): http://www.orbifold.net/netron/ simply awesome stuff. http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment8http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment8Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:03:58 GMTScott White commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerNever used this one. I will give it a try. The name reminds me of MonoDevelop which I've at least opened on Linux ;-) http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment7http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment7Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:24:21 GMTSify commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerMS didn't abandoned the DSL tools. They are a part of the Visual Studio Extensibility package (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx/default.aspx) as well as other stuff for VS 2008. Int the middle of the page there is a link to their Domain-Specific Language Tools Documentation. http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment6http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment6Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:04:53 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerBriefly enough to know that I don't like it. http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2007/11/25/Graphical-Domain-Specific-Languages.aspx http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment5http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment5Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:39:01 GMTAyende Rahien commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerSharpDevelop - an OSS IDE http://sharpdevelop.net/ http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment4http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment4Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:35:34 GMTFrank Quednau commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerQuite some time ago I saw an MS video where they were trying to explain their DSL-making tools. Suffice to say it was so technical that they totally failed to sell it to me. I can only find a download from 2005, seems like they abandoned the whole thing. Have you ever looked into that stuff? http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment3http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment3Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:19:35 GMTDennis commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerhttp://sharpdevelop.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment2http://ayende.com/3562/didja-know-develop-has-a-class-designer#comment2Wed, 27 Aug 2008 07:52:13 GMTMartin Nyborg commented on Didja know? #Develop has a class designerSorry but what is #Develop.
