XAML Binding Syntax
-
Why is XAML binding syntax like this: {Binding Path=blah} instead of this: Binding{Path=blah} ?? We don't write methods like this: myString(Substring 12) !! Two ways of visually/textually representing the same concept is just confusing! :mad:

Similar to other markup syntax, ain't it? For an HTML anchor element, you do <a href=blah />

Both Lisp and ObjectiveC have syntax similar to that.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Bizarre. I prefer the target( params ) syntax. It makes more sense to me, rather than grouping the target and params within the same encompassing encapsulation. Can you imagine if indexer syntax was like that too? collection[Items i] or [myDictionary key] Ick!
