Hi All,

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!

Good dialog, guys.  If you look around the forum, you will see that this debate has come up more than once and we have mentioned that there will be most of what you are requesting in future updates.  The goal is to get away from data queries...this would be slow and unresponsive the large the app became.  But we have some ideas that we feel will be beneficial to everyone and still make it easy to make changes.  This will not be implemented until SF 2.0, however, when we rewrite all UI controls.

SF 2.0?? Cool. When?

It will be late in the year before we release a totally new SF 2.0.  We want to make sure that there isa  migration path and there is a LOT of new stuff that we want to do including more RAD and web components, etc.
