I have learned to make really effective use of the WINFORM custom control library. However, one minor annoyance with the current version of TableEditControlBase.cst is the value used to set the "Text" property of each label. NetTiers currently uses the column name for that field. This is rarely...

After generating a project based on a db, I go into <namespace>.Windows.Forms project, and into the UI folder which contains 2 controls for each entity in my db. So, If I open a control, say: CompanyGridView, The designer produces the following error: The designer must create an instance of type...

Regarding design time support for the Winforms library, its there, with a small trick. Don't try to use the controls directly. Instead create a User Control Library project in your solution. Then add a user control and have it inherit the NetTiers control you want to use. You will find the user control...

Almost complete tutorial, but what about datagridview control ? Namely, DataGridView is not fully design-time customizable. When I've tried to add new column, I've got an error ("Column cannot be added because its CellType property is null "). Most of the other properties I can customize...

Hi Nettiers, First great job - steep learning curve for us junior programmers but - great job. It has actually given me insight into how many of the .NET framework interfaces should be used. However, I am struggling to understand why the validation for empty strings doesn't seem to work in my bound winform...

Hi all, I just wanted to mention that I was also interested in using NetTiers with CAB (and SC-SF as well) so any further help, code or example about it would be really appreciated. I'm new to CAB and SC-SF but not to NetTiers so now it would be really great if some CAB gourou could give us some...

WOW, I'm getting excited about this. I am already writing my applications using CAB so I can hardly wait to use these features, if you need a tester. Since we're talking about this, maybe you guys can give me some pointers. I am using winforms, and I have quite a few Entity lists, where I just...
