It would help a lot if there was a chunk of documentation on each type of StrataFrame object that you can create with the add.. function, such as: Info Panel, Themed Container, etc. Right now only you know how they work and what they are for.

It would also help to have a discussion of interacting with other controls such as ComponentOne, Infragistics and Xceed and the DataGridView from MS. Can the BO's be bound directly to these other controls, or is some kind of subclassing required?

And, I meant to include... A description of each of the controls that is loaded into the StrataFrame Controls and Components section of the Toolbox.

Yes, the documentation is in the works, and we're currently in full documentation mode. Both the documentation available online through the knowledge base will be updated as well as the CHM file. Additionally, we will have Help 2.0 support for integration with Visual Studio and dynamic (context sensitive) help.

As for working with other controls, if they can bind directly to a DataTable (which almost any standard control, and all grid controls can), they can be bound to a business object without the need to subclass it. Just set the data source on the control to the CurrentDataTable or the CurrentView of the business object and you'll be in business (no pun intended).

And, yes, having documentation and samples on each of the controls available through the toolbox is an excellent request.

Any estimates when documentation for StrataFrame controls might be available? I haven’t been able to find anything on the ChildFormDialog in the current Developer’s Guide.

I'll try to get one up and posted by Monday or Tuesday... we've already got the sample application created, and we're moving forward.
