When I begin to create my form, I need to place a series of labels and text box on the form. These labels should identify the fields within my BO and the type of textbox I choose should be appropriate to the field.
At this point, when I'm in a blank form, I need to be able to see a list of my BO fields in front of me, to give the right text and name to my labels and text box. I'm not able to find this list any way conveniently to look at.
The BO has a dictionary (fielddbTypes) that exposes the field name and it's type. Would it be possible to give us a property on the BO, that I click and see this list? It will save lots of time.
Unless such a list already exists at my disposal!
Thanks!

You can create a Project Data Source for each business object that you want to be able to view that way. From the "Data" menu, open the "Show Data Sources" option and from the data sources window, click the "Add New Data Source" link, select Object Data Source and choose the business object type. It will create a tree of the properties on the business object and place it in the Data Sources window. You can then see all of the properites from there.

Hehe, is that you're computer, Ivan? I've only got 3 monitors  , but I think I would get a crick in my neck from having to look up at the 4th one on top

Ah, it's diminishing returns... I end up ignoring one of my monitors, and since much of my work is done remotely, I've got VS down to one monitor (since you can only use one over RDP) by auto-hiding all of the dockable windows that I can.

The only remote client I have found that supports multiple monitors is GoToMyPC and it does it very well, easily worth $20.00 a month.

Hi Ben. Would this help?
You're crazy Ivan!
After going back and forth with desktop and laptop, I've opted to use laptop that I can go to patio, living room, bedroom (bathroom ), use it at my convenient, rather sitting behind desk all the time. So, I just use notebook in 1600x1200 resolution and works pretty good!

... that I can go to ... (bathroom )...
That's an image I could have lived without!

Yeah, I bought 3 LCDs to put in my desktop, then I didn't really know what to do with the 21" Sony I had, so I made it the fourth on the top. But Ben is right, looking at it on the top got a bit difficult, so I made my chair a bit higher and position in the center of them all... In this picture you should see the Enterprise Server on the left, main VS in the middle, Properties-Datasources-Solution Explorer-Windows(Errors,Warnings,etc) on the right, DDT-BO Mapper on the top.  And when I go to a client I have to work in that 12" notebook I bought when I was in the class. I'm trying not to leave the office anymore...

[b]In this picture you should see the Enterprise Server on the left, ... Sorry... SQL Server Management Studio on the left... still under the effects of all the beer I had in the last class...

Windows Vista RDP sessions (mstsc.exe) will support multiple monitors by adding the SPAN command line parameter. It works pretty well and it beats having to use GotoMyPC or VNC or something of that nature.

WOW, I'm gonna test this later when I get to the office.
