Visual APL supports
editing of all APL variables and IXMLSerializable data from the session in the Visual
Studio XML Editor
Edit
any .Net object from you session. Most .Net classes support IXML Serializable and
can be edited from your APL session.
The Visual APL session is integrated in Visual Studio and supports editing of any
object in .Net that supports the IXML Serializable interface.
Most .Net objects, like Dictionary and Hashtable support the IXML Serializable.
Since Visual APL implements the IXML Serializer all of your APL variables, even
nested arrays, can also be edited in the Visual Studio XML Editor.
Simply use the )xmlout and your variable name and your variable will be displayed
in the Visual Studio XML Editor. There you can use all of the XML tools included
in Visual Studio to modify and update your variable. Then just Ctrl+E+E to update
the value of the variable in your session.
In addition to simply editing your variable, you can save your variable and then
any other .Net application or language can read or change your variable.
This makes all APL variables .Net compliant and easily used from any language.
The XML Serializer that is included with Visual APL also makes it possible to export
APL variables under program control, and then read them back.
