dotnet windows forms : A Framework for Datadriven Forms for VB Dot Net

Hello All,

I am currently in the middle of creating a 'Framework' for my latest VB.Net
project.

I have always created such a tool for previous lauguages.

This time I am basing it on n-Tier architecture. I will probably continue
and develop my own version, but have any of you people developed your own
version, or used and 3rd party tools.

What I am referring to is a set of code that can be used for most forms in
the application, they will display data, allow for additions, deletions,
updates, will support record selection, etc.

I typically then add error logging, application logging, and a few other
minor features.

The only problem is it is a little labourious creating all the code for each
layer, and the stored procedures required, and the stored procedures for the
combo's also.

I am attempting to use .Net 2003's data adapter to generate some of the sql
for the updates and deletions, but I still have to hand write a reasonable
amount of the code myself.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Mark,

Did you ever look at MS-Access, that is not written and maintained by one
man.

As well was the code for that not supported in a newsgroup.

I hope this gives an idea.

Hi,

There are atleast 2 third party softwares that come to mind

1. Deklarit - www.deklarit.co,
2. ComponentOne - www.componentone.com - DataObjects.

I have tried both of them, and found componentOne dataobjects very useful.

Hope this helps.
