It's been done wrong too many times, by focusing on the eye-candy appeal. I'd rather not have yet another ugly class library. Marc Help!

Dunlap 29-May-03 9:41  Basic application framework with support for: Addins - the kind of addin can be as powerful as the original application Commands - self-runnable commands that can be invoked by menus, toolbars, or code Properties - A framework for easily reading and writing properties - including an interface for persisting any class to XML. Messages - a system for outputting messages that abstracts the message from the output method, so that the same message can be outputted to a message box, a statusbar, a log file, an MS Agent character, etc. Services - everything that performs an action for another object is a service. There can be services such as help, file IO, etc. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - Jesus "An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." - Mahatma Gandhi Re: Application Framework Chris Austin29-May-03 15:54 Chris Austin 29-May-03 15:54  I think this is a fine idea. Marc Clifton has already sown the seeds as far as I am concerned. After his series of articles I don't look at application development the same way. Marc are you reading?

Dunlap 29-May-03 16:04  What I like best are the addin/codon stuff, and the XML property persistance. What I don't like is: they still don't have a unified user message system. they don't have a good menu/toolbar system - I have an idea which would only use commands, which could be on menus or toolbars, and would allow user customization of menus/toolbars.

In ED (see sig) I have a unified system for handling commands which doesn't care where the commands originate (menu,toolbar,kbd,macro,mouse click) but has the information on the source, should someone down the track need it. Also entire sequences of commands can be tied to a menu item, toolbar button, key sequence etc. along with parameters for each command as required. This has proven to work very well for me and my users. For messaging I find signals and slots are "the way" to go. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows.

Thanks for mentioning it. I'll look into it. Neville Franks wrote: along with parameters for each command as required That's where SharpDevelop really doesn't make it. For instance, what if you wanted to have there be a menu item builder that builds a recent list containing a number of menu items for recent files, with the command "App.OpenFile", and the name of the file as a parameter? You can't do this very well in SharpDevelop, but it's very important that you have that capability. Neville Franks wrote: As far as messaging I find signals and slots are the way to go I was talking mainly about messages to the user, and logging/debug messages. I'll take this opportunity to say something that's on my mind: I think that a good solid application framework is one of the biggest keys to the success of failure of a piece of software. If you don't bother to make a good framework, then it's as good as if you tried to build a house on top of a landslide-prone hill. You're going to have problems all the way, and sooner or later, it's going to get to where you have to ditch it and start over. This project could help thousands of people make much better applications. It would reduce the headaches of maintaining ever-larger apps, and we would finally get the full benefits of component-based development.

I like anyone who takes a look at SharpDevelop have been thinking through and working on pieces of my own framework. SD's addin/ codon but it runs into problems when you try to adapt it to the concept of needing to load-unload-load plugins at runtime. Dependency checking becomes a nightmare. Anyway I'm game for this one! I really like what Marc has done with his articles and have considered scrapping what I've built i experiment and using that as a foundation.

ASP.NET web controls replacement library Chris Maunder29-May-03 9:46 Chris Maunder 29-May-03 9:46  My proposal is for an ASP.NET class library that we can use in place of the ASP.NET intrinsic controls. Currently the ASP.NET controls output fairly horrendous and bloated HTML, are not XHTML compliant, and do not support Mozilla et al. A set of controls either replacing these controls, or deriving from them and overriding their HTML rendering functionality would be a Good Thing. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: ASP.NET web controls replacement library Tom Welch29-May-03 9:53 Tom Welch 29-May-03 9:53  Any chance of making this a part of UGLY?

Now there is an idea. I am dead set on doing the XHTML ASP.NET control library, that has my top score as the idea. .NET has the two trees of WebForms and Windows Forms. So our project with the XHTML WebForms could be done in parallel with a Windows Forms version as well. I like it.
