Hi all,

I wonder if some of you could advise on best practise.

I am almost comfortable with the syntax of C# and feel I am getting to
grips with it, but I find I lack the knowledge and experience to know
the best approach in many situations. For example:

I am planning to build an application to interact with a remote product
database. This will entail lots of different pages/panes/windows/xxxx
with different functions. I feel popping up dialogue boxes is probably
not the best way to approach this, so I guess I should either remove and
add controls at runtime, or use an mdi set-up... what do people suggest?
How do "wizards" usually handle different "pages".

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi,

From your post it's not very clear what is the best way to implement the UI,
you could get a main windows with menues (or a toolbar) for the functions.
this is in case that only one function should be active at a time, if you
need more than one function actived then you need a MDI

The wizard structure only works if you have a linear process, so maybe you
can use it for some function, but not for the general program, there are
some frameworks that facilitate the creation of a wizard, check the
archives.


cheers,
