ASP.NET Graphical Designer screenshot

Okay, it's not quite as exciting as the title suggests. I've been hacking away on the Services and Component Model, and have reached the stage where I can display controls, select them from a drop-down list, change their properties, and have the change reflected on the design surface. You can't interact with the design surface directly yet, and the controls aren't really in a document, just a collection of controls. But it looks pretty!

Update, 28-7-05: Noticed I'd put this in the wrong category.

If I am not entirely mistaken, then the typeeditors used for ASP.Net controls are based on Windows.Forms. How are those meant to be integrated into the GTK-based designer host GUI?

You are entirely correct in that the System.Windows.Forms PropertyGrid's Type Editors are based on SWF themeslves. But few, if any, of these editors have been implemented for Mono. Therefore, I simply wrote GTK# analogues of the ones I consider essential for my GTK# PropertyGrid.

Using Type Converters most of the types can be edited as strings, but I also have native support for numbers, colours, enums and booleans, and am writing a collection editor at the moment. I hope that one day GTK# will be able to interoperate fully with SWF, but this is unlikely. Support for SWF dialogue-based editors is more feasible than in-cell editors, but I consider neither a priority.

Thanks! I'm working hard; support for saving is coming along nicely...

How and when could some "beta testing" be done on this ASP.Net Editor? Which licence will it be released in?

Right now the editor is really more of an Alpha than a Beta: just about usable, but with a distinct lack of features and polish. I'm going to commit to SVN sometime soon, and I'll announce on Monologue when I do.

To answer your other question, the project currently uses the X11 MIT license.
