I just switched the data source on an app. Migrated the data from Access to MySQL, republished and that's it. Are there many other development tools that can do this so easily?
Just thought I'd share

I could not agree more Tony
Just wish Yes would keep it mainatined, current, & alive...
I have never used a more powerful development tool & I have been at this for almost 30 years....

It is great in the sense that it is really well designed - the data layer is separated from everything else quite neatly, the default components are generally well thought out. It's easy to switch databases.
But CCS is becoming obsolete on the UI side pretty quickly. AJAX stuff and advanced JS often make it crash and even custom styling (if you want to do stuff outside CSS style editor) is pretty hard.

Well more recently I have been using CCS as a way to feed data to a html page which I then manipulate with CSS and JQuery. (so has John)
It's great for this. It's not hard at all once the data is on the page you wrap it with divs and style it with an external CSS file. Simple.
In fact (and remember I am a designer not a programmer) I would love a version of CSS that had no presentation building facility. It juts put the data into the HTML page and I could do the rest of the stuff out side CCS.
As it is, the way I'm using it right now it's better than it ever was. Now that maybe down to my skills improving, I don't know.
I'm using jquery ajax to create tabs in minutes and styling just how I want. I'm using jquery plugins for exciting site structure like the one page sample I did. I'm doing real-time validation and much more.
It is very easy. But at the core CCS is going and getting the data just as I want it. The UI stuff I can take care of so it will never date.

I'm returning to this tool after many years. We used V2 at another company very successfully.
I just changed jobs, and I'm in an organization where this could be the Perfect match.
I'm going to be racing to evaluate it - for .NET development - over the next two weeks.
So far, I'm very, very pleased with what I see. I have looked at a whole lot of tools over the years. I think the code this tool generates looks very, very good.

Recognize that only .Net v2 is supported.

That's fine.

Thats interesting because Windows 7 installs .net 3.5 by default and CCS 4.x runs fine, I guess it's backwards compatible.
