  Hi all,   First of all thanks to the DSL Team for the new validation framework! It works great and makes it very easy to code validations. Good work...   But, I am having some questions about it.   I noticed that the “IsValid” property on both the “ShapeElement” and the “ModelElement” doesn’t seem to reflect the state of the validation framework.   To be more precise: I implemented a validation for the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Really need to increase main memory

  Currently the emulator allocates about ~25MB of memory (storage+progeam). Storage isn't a problem since I can emulate a storage card.
