form.suite4.net Form Designer

I recently had the chance to try out form.suite4.net, a form designer and form manager designed specifically for Microsoft .NET Windows, Web Forms, and Macromedia Flash. What I found most impressive was the software's flexible architecture, which allows you to make changes to forms at runtime without any need for recompilation of the assembly. I also really appreciated the programmatic tools that allow you to dynamically load project elements, like forms or user controls, simply by reading the contents of a project file. Again, no recompilation necessary.

One standout feature of form.suite4.net is its comprehensive import facility. This makes it possible to import Visual Basic or C# Visual Studio projects seamlessly and convert the forms contained within into ASP.NET pages and user controls while preserving all form styles. It's amazing how easy it is to create rich web applications using the suite4.net.FormDatabase and the WebLoader component. The automatic databinding feature is supported in both the Windows and WebLoader components, and you can implement databinding in a form with just a single line of code.

Another cool aspect of form.suite4.net is the visual form inheritance feature. This can be used for security or localization purposes, and the code builder optimizes source for child forms so that it only contains the changes between the parent and child form. Controls that remain unchanged between the parent and child are not initialized again.

Overall, I was really impressed with form.suite4.net. This form designer and manager is comprehensive, flexible, and easy to use. It's definitely worth checking out if you're a .NET developer!
