Example

It would be nice to have a formatted example of what an XAML file looks like.

Like a .nib file?

So would this be the Windows equivalent of an OSX/X-Code .nib file? -- stewacide 05:12, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Not sure [whether this is like a .nib file], but it's all a bit confusing to me. XAML, Shouldn't that be pronounced 'ex-aye-em-el' - not zammel? -- User:Unknown

Quite a few acronyms are given pronounciations, like SCSI. I'm guessing Microsoft gave it the pronounciation "zammel" as they're hoping it to become so popular that it'll be used frequently in conversations: the 2-syllable "zammel" is easier to say than the 4-syllable "XAML". -- jeffthejiff (talk)

I had the displeasure of hearing a representative from Microsoft Australia advertise the 'exciting, colourful future' to me and a hundred other students at a guest lecture, and he repeatedly referred to XAML as "zammel". I don't see (hear?) anything odd about the pronounciation, it's not so different from 'Xylophone' etc. Thomas Purnell 10:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here in Poland Microsoft teaches us to pronounce it as "gzaml", 1-syllable word.

I must agree that ex-aye-emm-el would make more sense, but it sounds more like HTML, and Microsoft wouldn't want that. As for its odd pronunciation, all I must say is that it sounds much more "cool" and easier to say. 68.72.166.44 01:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be [zæ:ml̩] instead of [zæ:mɛl]? I definitely have a syllabic [l], not a regular vowel, as the second syllable's nucleus. -- Arthaey 17:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unneeded?

(inappropriate comment removed)

Sure you will. You, up against several hundred architects, developers, managers, testers, and documentation writers, on their home turf in Seattle. Good luck with that! -/- Warren 03:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am forced to write in it, and I do hate it. Good luck, man you have my moral support. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.29.170.120 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Link to EU

What kind of information offer the Link to the EU about XAML ??? --Lastwebpage 21:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
