I am developing some little tools in C#, basically they just work fine as a console application with some configuration values read from the exe configuration file (System.Configuration).
But editing an XML file is not what you could call a great User Experience, so I am searching for a tool/library that could create a simple configuration screen in WPF or Winforms for the user to change these values.
This should be possible to automate for many simple cases. I did not find any existing tools that could solve this problem. Does anyone know tools that create UIs for configuration files or any tools that could speed up the creation of such a tool?
It should not be a problem to create this in pure WPF, but any tool to speed up the process is welcome.
The Generic User Interface (Generic UI, GUI) framework allows you to create UI screens using Java and XML. XML is optional but it provides a declarative approach to the screen layout and reduces the amount of code which is required for building the user interface.
The various types of user interfaces include: graphical user interface (GUI) command line interface (CLI) menu-driven user interface.
Many high quality GUI were written in C with, for example, Windows API. There's no particular reason why not, but object oriented programming was very successful in modeling interactive graphics. GUI elements somehow map naturally into C++ objects that can encapsulate complex behavior behind a simple interface.
Dropbox. Dropbox has one of the most easily understandable interfaces by far.
