I think a great enhancement would be the ability to create a data source based on a BO (which you can do) but once that data source has been created that it default to StrataFrame controls (textbox, combobox, etc). and when you configure the data source to detail view and drag and drop all the controls onto the form it sets the binding field and primary BO, etc. 

Here's the link where I got the idea: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/tour/vs2005_guided_tour/VS2005pro/Smart_Client/BindingSource.htm

Let me know whether you think.

Yeah...this is actually something that has been requested several times...and which we think would be nice as well.  I am sure it will be implemented in a release down the road...when I am not sure, but eventually

You could even go a huge step further and link the data source to a CASE -tool, such as xCase, which would be the central repository of database design as well as the nitty-gritty (field labels, masks, value domains, etc.), as well as data integrity stuff such as cascading deletes.

I've used this type of interface in my Foxpro development (xCase and Visual Promatrix -framework), and it is awesome, to say the least.  Your entire data dictionary is managed by the case tool, and you can reuse any table, any field and any relationship as many times as you want without having to establish the nitty-gritty stuff over and over again.  What a huge timesaver that is.

Hi Pertti,

Frank and I will be including Strataframe in our .Net transformation of the xCase2VPM tool you are using.  We will be using the same DD created for V2, which could be accessed by the SF builders, etc.
