KiXforms

[Shawn]

Welcome to KiXforms.NET. Kixforms.NET contains a wealth of resources designed to help you build powerful scripts based on Microsoft's .NET Framework technology.

The KF.NET Development Build can be found here:

KiXforms.NET Development Build

Jooel Nieminen (our very own Lonkero) co-developed some of the classes in KiXforms.NET. The Math library and most of the File object and Streamers were developed by Jooel. From what I understand, Jooel is currently developing more goodies - to be found in a future release.

Please download Kixforms Designer .NET. Its purpose is to help teach and design forms using KiXforms.NET. As an Alpha it is still under development. KiXforms Designer was written by Dale G. (benny69) - an Information Technology Specialist from Lincoln, Ne. The latest package and information on Kixforms Designer can be found here:
