Once we gather the data, we’d like to save it to a format that will be consistent across Windows 8 C# and Windows 8 Javascript, as well as Windows 8 Phone. For now, we’ve settled on JSON as a common persistence and wire-format. While JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, there are good libraries for converting .NET objects to JSON and back.

In the most recent posting, we looked at a wire-frame that illustrated some of the data we’ll be collecting. The user fills in the fields, but then how does the user indicate Save or Cancel? It would be tempting to add buttons right beneath the data entry form, but the design guidelines call for keeping Chrome, including such buttons, out of sight.

Q3 2012 SP1 comes as a milestone in the development of RadDataForm. This release introduces significant improvements and enhancements in the control making it entirely revamped.

We are also going to update our online help regarding RadDataForm considering the new APIs.

My name is Jeffrey T. Fritz, and I am a developer who has been working with Asp.Net since the 1.0 days of 2002. I’ve built web applications of all sizes for all form factors, and included localization features in those applications.

I’ve primarily used the default controls that Microsoft distributes with Visual Studio, and thought to myself that using these controls would be a similar experience. Please understand, I’m a developer who starts coding first, and reads product documentation later. You should see how I assemble IKEA furniture...

In our previous blog posts on the JustCode Formatter ("Introducing the Formatter" and "Comparing the JustCode Formatter to the Visual Studio Formatter") we showed you what it is and how it works. Our latest post on the formatter detailed the first half of the settings for C#. In this post, we will show the rest of the code style settings for C#.
