When using SF we have the BindingField which is based on the BusinessObject property of the control, sometimes I have controls which I would like to bind to a new form's property and no business object, so I can reference this property instead of the control itself.



In this case if I use a SF control, can still use its BindingField property with not BusinessObject? or should I just add a regular property and assign the control value in the GET/SET?

For PDF forms I'm using iTextsharper and it really is nice. I use it for filling out forms, putting on stamps, watermarks etc and for joining multple pdfs into one document. I plan to use PDF forms a lot now that I can handle them programmatically.


A while back in VFP I used the PDFToolkit which was pretty nice to work with. To fill the form, I used to have a table with a field for each field in the PDF file, of course, first I had setup the PDF form with all needed fields names. In my case I only worked with a single form with several pages, but thinking ahead now, I may need to fill several forms and that approach was not that easy with that many fields in the table. What approach are you using to fill the PDF form?



I've pretty well decided to go with DevExpress XtraReports over Sharpshooter. The interface is really nicely integrated into VS IDE and the creation of new reports very fast and just feels natural. I used RSS but just never warmed up to the logic of the whole thing. Did you ever find time to test it?


Nope, but it is in the list of things to review, for now I did not renew my RSS subscription, they promised that many things will change specially the designer, but it is taking too long, so far they had made changes to the documentation. Don't get me wrong RSS is very, very powerful, just not that user friendly. I have been able to create some reports which would have been very difficult to do with the VFP report engine BigGrin
