Jason, I have to admit my experience with it is very superficial. I suppose it was a more subjective thingy on my part. As much as I would like to, I do very little WinForms stuff - mostly ASP.NET. Visually, StrataFrame forms did look better to me whereas MM.Net has a clunky look. Of course, looks aren't everything :)

Regards,
Carl

>>The biggest difference I see between the MM.Net and StrataFrame is that StrataFrame has a real DAL/BOL generator whereas MM.Net merely creates stub classes which still require a great deal of coding to make complete. On the other hand, StrataFrame seems to me weak on the ASP.NET side of things. The WinForms stuff appears to be simpler, and much more polished than MM.Net. This is based on having downloaded StrataFrame and playing with it a bit. The StrataFrame folks admit to having been MM.Net users before developing their framework. If that's the case, then you have to admire how quickly they put together their framework - including the DAL/BOL generator - which I've been waiting for in MM.Net for ages and ages. Perhaps LLBLGen is closer to what I want than either StrataFrame or MM.Net. If I didn't have so much invested in MM.Net I would switch to LLBLGen right away. Still, I hope MM.Net gets some serious focused development time so that the DAL/BOL stuff finally gets out in a timely
