You cannot host a DSL design surface in a standard Windows Forms/WPF application.

You cannot host a DSL design surface in a standard Windows Forms/WPF application. However, you can create your own application built on top of the Visual Studio Isolated Shell to host your DSL. The Storyboard Designer sample is an example of hosting a DSL in an isolated shell (although built on the VS 2008 Shell).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
