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?

Hi Bill -



What strategy are you using for the data? It seems at first glance that using the BBS approach and creating the properties for child tables etc is not really necessary. I am tempted to use standard datasets, filled from parameterized SQL views and just by-passing SF for reporting data needs. If I go that route am I going to be missing something I'll wish I had?



Second question : do you have the whole dxExperience subscription or a separate XtraReports suite? Does this include WPF and Silverlight?



It looks like no further license is needed to give the end-user report design functionality. Is this the case?



( see what you started - I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of questions going forward. )



TIA
