Dynapage has undergone many updates and changes since the previous version, both visually, and performance-wise.

Firstly, the main change is the migration to the standard development environment, with easy to use features such as properties windows, drag and drop controls, data-source wizards (including the Advanced Query Builder), and many more!!

Here are some of the other changes:

  • Field conditions on input and button controls allows you to set properties of controls at run-time, depending on validation parameters passed to it (eg. if item price is less than 50, then hide SAVE button)
  • Field visible property you can set a control to be hidden, which may be used to pass data from one page to another.
  • Variable screen widths each page can be set to have a different width, or they can all use the same page width.
  • Dual authentication modes It is possible to create a project that runs on WindowsNT authentication, that can check against a list of users in a database, or you can set an application to Anonymous Users, for everyone to use.
  • Dynamic creation of session variables. Dynapage automatically creates and drops session variables as needed, to pass information to and from pages. This is so easy to setup, that all you need to do is to select the most frequently used fields in the Project Properties windows, and Dynapage does the rest..!!
  • Changeable start-up page In the Project Properties, you can set any page that has been created in your project, to be the application start-up page, just by selecting the page you want, from the drop-down list available.
  • Advanced Query Builder - an easy to use visual drag-and-drop query builder has been integrated in the development environment, so you can create complex SQL statements using multiple tables, for the data-source properties of pages and controls.

There are also many other smaller changes throughout Dynapage, mostly additional functionality, and simplifying the user interface to make web development with Dynapage, a fun and easy thing to do.
