I am curious as to what patterns, if any, may have been used in the design of TaskVision. For example, Inductive User Interface (IUI), etc.
Also, if there are any other WinForms reference apps that may be of similar interest, I'd appreciate some references.
Thanks!!!

oneDataRow["someField"]=someTextBox.Text;
to get the values from the UI. I am developing a project in .NET of about a 6 months (I am in 5 month) and I have use Bindings for everything, but I cant find anyone that does the same, it seems that nobody likes them but me, but they do save me a lot of lines of code.
So.. ¿what is the recommended way of building an UI? ¿using bindings? ¿or do not?

So sad about this.... bye Luxspes | | MigrationUser 1 Saturday, March 13, 2004 12:12 PM | Have you used the UI block? I am still undecided on data binding controls. | | MigrationUser 1 Saturday, March 13, 2004 12:22 PM | I am using it, and up until now, seems prettly good (I have found some bugs, but nothing to worry about). And the trancision from UML to Code is a lot easier. As for databinding, I am going to try to work witout it to "make a test", I used it extensively in my previous systems, and it was pretty buggy.. but not that I am not using it, I miss it a lot, it really saved me a lot for typecasting and verification code. Still, I am no sure... I am working "in the right track"? TaskVision works fine, but its architecture... well it has no architecture... but its a working, not that simple app, the examples that come with the UIP are a lot simpler, but it is potentially more powerfull an eaisier to mantain.... I would really like that someone from the TaskVision development group explains why they used such "anti-pattern" architecture.... bye Luxspes | | MigrationUser 1 Monday, March 15, 2004 8:21 PM | Luxspes -
I've seen your posts all over the place about Pattern usage and you seem to have a lot of experience using the Application Blocks from Microsoft. My question for you is about the UIP Application Block--is it any good?
I am starting on a new winforms iniative here and am worried about trying to couple the ui too tightly with the database (that seems to be the road we are starting to go down) and I'd like to find a quick easy way (proven way) to do this the right way so that when Longhorn support comes a necesity we don't have to rewrite the entire application, just the UI.
Got any good links / sites where I can get ideas for a workable methodology?
