OVERVIEW
AlterNET Form Designer is a .NET component library that provides a quick and convenient way to create graphical user interfaces. Forms Designer lets you design UI by adding controls to a design surface, arranging them, and writing code for their events.
WHAT'S INSIDE
FORM DESIGNER CONTROL
This control represents a design surface that enables users to place controls, arrange them, and write code for their events.
It supports all standard editing operations, such as dragging, selecting, copying, and deleting components and controls, changing their size and z-order, and undoing any of these operations.
CONTROL TOOLBOX
A visual control that displays controls and components that you can drag to the Form Designer surface.
It consists of a set of foldable tabs, allowing application developers to organize controls by categories and to specify which components and controls, including third-party controls, appear on the toolbox.
PROPERTY GRID CONTROL
A visual control that allows users to view and change design-time properties and assign event handlers for the controls or components selected in the Form Designer.
Depending on the property type, it displays different types of editing fields, such as edit boxes, drop-down lists, and checkboxes.
OUTLINE CONTROL
This control provides a hierarchical structure of all elements belonging to the design form.
It allows users to select elements to modify, drag-n-drop, and change their properties.
SERIALIZATION ENGINE
The WinForms Form Designer can save its content to C#, Visual Basic, TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python code, while the WPF designer uses the XAML format instead.
WINFORMS AND WPF EDITIONS
Form Designer comes in the form of two distinct versions: one tailored to WinForms and the other to WPF applications. These versions use different approaches for designing visual interfaces, saving design content, and running designed forms.
*The WPF version of Form Designer, Property Grid, and Outline controls is based on modified sources of the open-source SharpDevelop project.
