Differences between Server and Windows Forms version

[Adrian]

My application has two interfaces, Windows forms and Web Forms. To simplify things I have built some DLL's that are used by both interfaces. For the most part this works fine however I am finding a few methods that are available in the Windows Forms version of TX and not in the Server version. ResumeLayout and Suspend Layout for instance, while I understand that these are not required in the Server version can you create "stubs" for them to simplify migration between Windows Forms and Web Forms. On a more general note can you give some information about your company policy on keeping the Webforms and Windows Forms versions compatible?

Cheers..

Thanks for your requests.

Generally, the interface of TX Text Control .NET and TX Text Control .NET Server is the same. The differences can be best seen in the graphical overview. All Server members are marked gray.

"ResumeLayout" for instance really doesn't make sense using TX Text Control .NET Server. I would like to suggest to include a flag that indicates whether a server object or a Windows forms object is curently used in your code to "IFDEV" these calls.
