The next release of Code On Time will include extended support for tabbed page layouts in apps with Touch UI.

If a data controller exposes multiple views of data, then each view will have a dedicated tab at the top of a page.

The view selector is also available in the context menu of the view.

The data presentation style options are available on the sidebar and in the context menu. The current options include List, Grid, and Map. Data Sheet, Chart and Calendar will become available soon.

The future releases will allow creating user-defined views of data with a dedicated style (List, Grid, Map, etc.), visible columns, sort expression,  and filters. Custom views will also be accessible via tab bar alongside the application defined views.

Master-detail pages will display child data views below the form views. If tab activators are specified, then a tab strip is also rendered to provide quick access to a subset of data starting with the first data row. View-specific “menu” button provides access to context menu options. Button “See All” allows working with an entire set of records.

If multiple tabbed master data views are defined on a page, then a dedicated tab-strip is rendered.

Touch UI works exactly in the same way on both mobile and desktop devices.

Here is a complex layout of a page with multiple master data views.

The release is expected to go out in June of 2014.

Press the Start button on your keyboard, and type in “IIS”. Select “Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager”.

Expand the node in the Connections pane to “Sites / Default Web Site / Northwind”. Right-click, and press “Convert to Application…”.

You must select the correct application pool depending on the ASP.NET version that you selected when creating the app. Click on the “Select…” button next to Application Pool.

Click on the Select button and choose the correct version from the dropdown. Be sure NOT to select the “Classic” version. Then, press OK to save the application pool.

Press OK to in the Add Application window to finish conversion.

Right-click on the new application, and press Manage Application | Browse.

The application will open in your default browser.

Your application has been deployed. The local address for the application is “http://localhost/northwind”.

Full Trust

Note: Applications created with Code On Time generator that have reporting enabled will add a line in the web.config file of your project that requires full trust on the server. This will ensure high performance when generating reports. If you do not permit full trust to the application, then you will encounter an error stating “That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers”. To disable the requirement for full trust, open the Project Wizard and switch to the Web Server page. Paste the following into the Web.Config modification instructions.

Delete: /configuration/system.web/trust
<nothing/>

Then proceed to regenerate and redeploy the app.
