I saw the following requirement somewhere:

"....using WinForms and the screens should be described in XML. The XML is
to prescribe both the layout as well as the connectivity to the underlying
model"

Can someone tell me how a Windows Form can be described in XML?
 
Is this a school project? Do they tell you what element names to use or any
other requirements. You just creating an abstraction of a form using XML
for teaching purposes - correct?

How do you create an abstraction of a form using XML? Do you mean like some
sort of documentation in XML? Here is the entire job posting from
hotjobs.com :

This project will be integrating a number of GUI applications using a
coherent framework that moves all the business logic to the middle tier,
uses a thin client, yet maintains a rich and responsive GUI that traders
require. The reason this is desirable is that currently wthere is a large
number of heavy client applications running on the client machine, competing
for those resources while also using a number of disparate frameworks that
are costly to develop and maintain independently by several groups.
Additionally state and security are handles in an incoherent manner, which
makes client recovery a more complex issue.
In terms of the platform to be used, the GUI must be built using WinForms
and the screens should be described in XML. The XML is to prescribe both the
layout as well as the connectivity to the underlying model. The server model
for the GUI should also be hosted on Windows as that makes the interaction
between the .Net based GUI and its model more manageable. From the model to
other middle-tier services JMS should be the main method of communication as
a very good standard that should work very well with real-time systems and
any J2EE back-end servers.
