VSIP & DSL
Well.. ok, I am facing some problems merging the IVsHierarchy and the DSL Tools API's... They seem to be two very different worlds, so I will need a few days to get the first Himalia Designer for VS2005 beta beta beta. :)
Now, you can check the first screen shot in the Preview Center.

Himalia & Services Adapters
Himalia generated (and interpreted) user interfaces are built upon a service layer.
In fact, the user interface use an adapter (in the GoF term definition) to communicate with the real services layer. That makes the user interface completely independent from who gives the services, and only knows about the contracts they must implement.
Last week, reading some DSL blogs, I found a Edward Bakker' example. He is creating a DSL for services, with contracts, implementations, etc...
So, it could be great to join both approaches in the near future.
Himalia for VS2005
As you may know, I've been working developing Himalia for a long time.
At this moment, I am working with the DSL Tools to make a VS2005-Addin for Himalia Projects. y first approach was to make the Use Case State Machine Model and the Navigation Model. In a few days I will post here some news about it.
The DSL Tools are very easy to use and interesting (forgetting pre-release problems like hand-check cross-references from XML and domain model definition).
