I haven't checked out stetic properly but as I understand it this is how
it should work:
All 'graphical' objects should expose certain properties and methods so
that the designer merely has to ask the object how to display it
,maximum /minimum size, C# code prototypes etc so that it can be used in
the designer. As far as I can tell this is how VStudio works - this
means you can use more or less the same designer for Windows or Web
forms - *if its not then theres a huge duplication of effort!*
If stetic has used the same methods/properties as used by the
Windows.Forms objects then it should be possible to 'point' stetic at
the appropriate (Managed.Forms) library and it should be able to work
out how to display/edit and code for them - *if its not then theres a
huge duplication of effort!
