Strongly Typed View Data in NRest

Sending data from a resource to a view in a strongly-typed, but syntactically lightweight manner is not possible with C# or VB.NET.

So check out this screencast of the new "render" macro in NRest!

In a nutshell, my resource looks like:

[Resource("")]
public class RootResource
{
    public Get() : void
    {
        def test = 42;
        render (Foo = "Hello", Bar = "World", test);
    }
}

My VB.NET view looks like:

Public Class RootPage
    Inherits Page(Of RootPageContent)

    Public Overrides Function GetHtml() As XElement
        Return _
        <html>
            <body><%= Content.Foo %>, <%= Content.Bar %></body>
        </html>
    End Function
End Class

The RootPageContent DTO class is generated at compile time by the render macro. Everything is strongly-typed.
