User Interface Application Block and VS2005 Wizard Control


User Interface Application Block and VS2005 Wizard Control Alan Fisher

dotnet distributed apps:
Has anyone been extremely adventurous and attempted to use the UIP
Application Block to create a Wizard style ASP.Net app? I have been
exploring the Wizard Control in VS2005 but the model doesnt seem to vit with
the UIP Application Block.

I'd really like to use the UIPAB so at this stage I am thinking about
rolling my own wizard to work with it. Does anyone have any thoughts or
comment?

TIA
Alan

Thanks for your reply.

The ASP2.net Wizard control seems to have its own mechanism for controlling
navigation though. Should I just use this rather than the mechanism from the
UIP Application Block? Doing so seems to defeat the purpose of using the
UIPAB though e.g. sharing a controller between Windows Forms and ASP.Net

The alternative is to somehow try to override the mechanism of the Wizard
control so I can use the UIP Application Block. Any recommendations?

Hi Alan,

I think UIPAB is more flexible. Wizard control is just for creating a
wizard like UI. But you can create more styles with UIPAB, for example, a
tree-like or web-like structure for your forms. ANd we can still use UIPAB
in ASP.NET 2.0.

I think both UIPAB and Wizard control are nice for Wizard style UI. For
UIPAB, you may begin with the quick start sample "Store". For any question,
please feel free to post here :)
