Dual Mode Issues 

I had thought that this was going to be a conveniant way to develop a dialog based app that could be used for both windows forms apps and web apps. However there seem to be a number of issues; here's what I encountered in the last couple of days trying to 'wrap' a 'normal' webgui dialog.

1) There is no easy way to pass back any results from... Gizmox.WebGUI.Client.Application.Run(.. it would be nice to be able to return a lump of XML :-)

Using version 6.1 of the SDK...

3) Checked list boxes. Are rendered without check boxes

4) TabControl - Pages ignore visible property...

4) Combo-boxes. When bound to a data source, in my case a List of classes with DisplayMember & ValueMember properties.. the drop-down list holds the class name and not the value - easy fix was to add ToString on the class

5) App.config - Default 'HomeDirectory' point to some location on the d: drive (of the devs machine)... setting this to the parent of a resource folder allows me to load icons etc (btw but rendering seems to ignore picture box layout property). And.. (I think the WebGui Section is versioned as 2.0.5701.0 instaed of 3.0.5701.0)

Any comments welcome
Pete

Re: Dual Mode Issues 

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your interest in VWG.

Please note that the Dual Mode feature (meaning the ability to run as a desktop application) is in Alpha stage and is more of a capability prove then a product.

Gizmox has concrete plans to complete this capability as a commercial product above VWG (wrb versions) by 2009, however, it looks like we will implement the client as a WPF client as oppose to WinForms.

Anyway, thank you for your diagnose above, we will use it when we come to complete the missing functionality.

Regards,
Itzik Spitzen
