I was woundering, if I was to use LLBL to generate the C# code for my windows app admin forms, do I also need to generate the associates .resx file for each form - is that possible?

These are for the winforms designer, if I'm not mistaken (I have to test but) I think when you remove these from a test project with a form, vs.net creates a new one for you.

Thanks, thats what I thought... I will go ahead and give it a go )

I am very interested in this type of concept.

My ultimate (impossible) goal, is to build a rich management form for every entity in the database.

The Problem is that it will require a view or typed list to hide ID's and show the descriptions of the entities in the relations ie,

It would be brilliant if there were a way to avoid this and instead there was some way of storing meta-data in the database that desribed how to display fields in a table.

You can actually. If you're using sqlserver for example, you can add 'extended properties' to a field of a table. In there you specify a name-value combination. These are read as 'custom properties' for the entity field mapped onto that table field and it ends up in the generated code for usage. You can then use them for code generation purposes or use them at runtime.

Thats interesting, Ill have to look into that.

Thanks.
