I have seen VB.NET videos where fields objects are dropped from the Data Source which cause a label (with the proper caption) and a textbox (usually) to be created on the form. Certainly this way save us a lot of time when you have many fields to create with many forms

I have not seen anything in SF documentation that will cover this, and I had tried dropping a field object from one of my SF business object from the Data Sources windows but it will not create the objects from the SF class, instead they will be created from the default .NET classes.

So my question would be, is there any facility in SF to help you out in this regard? or we have to simply manually drop labels, textboxes from SF Toolbox and manually change the caption and assign the BindingField?

Thanks!

I am glad your experience of VFP/VPME is the reverse of mine but I stand by my comments and, quite frankly, I could expand on them. I am afraid I worked on a large VPME application containing around 450 forms over a period of several years and it was not easy to maintain and form building was a real pain. Re-writing the same application in SF was a joy in comparision and the form building was very fast, powerful and appealling to the end users.

However, I have just realised I am talking about VPME in the SF forums and I would much prefer to talk about SF and to totally forget about VPME so I will retreat into silence
