No Strata components in ToolBox after installation

Current setup:



VS2005 SP1

C#

.Net 3.0 runtime & SDK

WPF, WF extensions installed



After installing the trail version, when I create a new "Strata Windows Application" project, I don't see any of the components in the tool box.

However, if I right click on toolbox and view items, I see lots of MicroFour components, but none have been activated.



If I try to open any projects, I get lots of errors about referrences not found.

DataBound question: Can any MS databound components be connected to your BO as it's datasource? Or are we limited to the components that SF provides as part of the package?

Have you been to the StrataFrame menu and rebuilt the toolbox?

Look at the IBusinessBindable interface in the help. You can implement this interface and make the non-SF control bindable.

Thanks Gary! Got it to work.

If you want to make a business object visible as a datasource to other non-SF controls, you can use the BusinessBindingSource control.  Drop it on a form and set it's business object, and it will wrap the business object with the IBindingListView and ITypedList interfaces that allow it to be used as a data source by any .NET control.
