With the May 2005 CTP Release for Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 of the Microsoft Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Tools you can create your own designer, integrated into Visual Studio, for a visual domain-specific language. The tools help you define the domain-specific language and generate the code of a graphical designer for you. The resulting designer uses the same underlying modeling technology that is used by the Class Designer and Distributed System Designers in Visual Studio 2005.
This download contains a set of tools hosted in Visual Studio 2005 to enable building custom designers for visual domain-specific languages. The tools include a wizard that generates a complete designer solution, a graphical designer for domain models (metamodels) and a set of code generators.
The Microsoft Tools for Domain-Specific Languages is part of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK.
