Hey,

I am in the process of defining the content of 250 forms. We have to write
down on paper whats the purpose of the form,controls and their names. Also
we have to add the buttons functionality to the documentation.

There must be a better way! I am thinking about doing the forms in C# and
then extract the information afterwards!

Am I missing something here or is there a better tool than C# to accomplish
this?

Thanks

David

Sounds like a good candidate for reflection.

How about:
- designing all the forms in Visual Studio (then you have screenshots)
- create your own custom attributes for 'purpose' and 'functionality'
- jump into the code behind your forms and add the attributes
- compile the project into a DLL
- write a DLL walker that runs over the classes in the dll, and if they
inherit from Page prints out the name of the form, and grabs the value
of the attributes to print out the purpose of the form. Then loop
through each of the Buttons, and do the same for them.

But remember to treat the end result as a prototype, it probably
wouldn't be wise to build your application on top of what you do in this
stage.
