Hi jane,
I bought Codemine and it is really a good product.
go to
http://www.codemine.com and get their demo program made out of their framework.
That should give you a good idea of what you can do with the framework. There are a lot of nice things in that framework.
If you go to other sites (mentioned here on the UT) you should be able to have demos too.
Before you buy one be sure to evaluate as many of these frameworks to see which one best suits your needs.
Good luck!
