Hi everyone,

I have just uploaded a new version of DNNBuilda to CodePlex, you can get it at http://dnnbuilda.codeplex.com. This version offers better scripting of the IPortable interface. With a few small changes, your generated modules can have import/export capability. I have also posted a demo video about IPortable on YouTube:

The source code for both examples is also available on the CodePlex site.

Thanks,
Patrick

David, that's exactly where I'm headed. My thought was to add a dropdown for the type, where people could choose from definitions of different template file groups. Some of them might include:

• Basic List (what we have now)
• Templated List (using the properties collection to cycle through available property tags)
• Paged GridView (grid with pagination)
• form

If you'd like to create some form templates or whatever else, that would be a welcome addition to the project!

Some other thoughts for the future of DNNBuilda are:

• Multiple tables
• Settings screen
• The ability to save your project as an XML file

Thanks,
Patrick

I have just released an update to DNNBuilda that adds design pattern selection. Now the template files are grouped together in an XML file, and different patterns may be created by adding new definitions to the file. The only pattern currently available is the "Basic List". I hope to add many more patterns in the near future.

Thanks,
Patrick
