I just starting looking at the Parsing Framework and I'd like to ask if is there a tool to help with creating the XML.EBNF files - or is it a manual effort ?
Thanks
Hi Mike,
I have been trying to use the syntax editor (in the XamSyntaxEditorStudio_WinForms sample) with the basic XML grammar file that is provided in the CustomLanguage Sample and it doesn't seem to work.
The CustomLanguage sample is good for viewing XML documents but it isn’t ideal for in-line editing.
Is there a sample you can point me to where the Syntax Editor provides editing of an XML document.

Hello,
I am just checking about the progress of this issue. Let me know If you need any further assistance on this issue?
Thank you for using Infragistics Components.
Hi John, currently this is a manual process, but there is a sample in WinForms called CustomLanguage which has a basic XML grammar defined and should help get you started. However, you should note that the parsing framework is currently a CTP and we are working hard to get it to RTM status as soon as possible. As part of this effort, we will be making some breaking changes to the EBNF special sequence content accepted by the framework, so you may have to change your custom grammar files when upgrading. I cannot yet say what those might be because the final special sequence grammar has not been locked down yet.
And we do hope to create a utility to help create EBNF files in the future, but getting the parsing framework to RTM status is currently the highest priority.
