I'll be happy to help you with this (and the additional issues raised in your e-mail to support) when I return on Tuesday.

I built a loose controls widget for my address master table.  This table is related to the customer master table.  I have a page layout for customers using a search summary/detail layout.  My desire is to add the new address control to the tabs.  Here is my code:
 
TabViewControllers.Add(new GeneralTabViewController<AddressView>("Addresses","Customer Addresses", true));
 
When I run this I get the following error:

The item type of the BindingSource that you selected [Spiratex.Aspire.Model.CustomerMaster] does not match the BoundType of this BindingManager [Spiratex.Aspire.Model.AddressMaster].


I thought I could setup a view with relational ignorance; however, that does not seem to be the case.  How would I create a widget that will reflect related items and NOT be a readonly entity list?
 
Thanks!

Right.  You'd do that by modifying the page controller code for the layout view to create the desired widget view.

Are there five classes of wizards, then?
 
1)  Application
2)  Business Module
3)  Page Layout
     a)  Search Summary/Detail
     b)  Search Results
     c)  Summary/Detail
4)  Views (widgets)
     a)  Grid (DotNet only?)
     b)  Controls
5)  Helper (only grid builder, so far)
 
If I build a layout the wizard can setup the view I would like with it; however, that view could easily be replaced by another view that I create with one of the widget wizards, right?

So far, the two widget view templates are ControlView and DotNetGridView.  The others are considered layout view templates (except the GridBuilder which is a helper class template).

When building views, we recommend clearly separating the concept of "layout views" that define the structure of a portion of screen real estate and "widget views" that actually display data in a particular set of controls.

Again, great job on the templates/wizards!

I was playing around with creating a customer page with contact details.  I would like to present the contacts in a view with a navigator.  When reading about the summary view, I ran across the statement:
 
"use one of the widget view templates to create and design a new summary view"
 
I am not sure what a widget view template is.  What are these templates and how would I use them?
 
Thanks,
Bill
