One for the future maybe...? Over the past couple of years I've been
working to separate my code as much as possible from my UI. I've also
used Silverlight and the MVVM approach and it really is a fantastic way
to build apps. Before EWB came along I was looking at Knockout (which
uses jQuery by default). See
http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/07/05/introducing-knockout-a-ui-library-for-javascript/
for an intro.

EWB is already looking very impressive and if we could have the ability
to use MVVM as well then the scope for re-usable non-UI code between
Delphi and EWB would be enormous.

Cheers, Bob

What they're doing is effectively what the DataSet/DataColumn binding
properties are for in EWB, although a little more evolved.  With EWB, you
can bind any normal control to a specific dataset/data column, or you can
just leave them as normal controls.
