Is there any documentation on AutoForms?

[Mark Cashman]

Hi, all!

I am finding it a challenge to learn about ECO from the documentation that
comes in the help file. I'd like to learn more about ECO AutoForms, for
instance.

Is there any general documentation as to what they are and how they work?
Neither a web search or a seach of BDN seem to turn up anything.

Thanks in advance!

Aside from shipping with complete source code there is not much
available I'm afraid.

There are two important aspects of them:
a) The ability to register a form factory for a modeled type
b) The default form factory that generates a for with all required UI to
show information from an instance of an ECO object

Iirc Peter Morris has written some components that pertain to (a). (b)
is in large part explained by the source code. It's fairly straight forward.

If there are any specific aspects of either you want to know more about,
please ask again.
