Skeleton Crew - Product Success Story

Skeleton Crew is a .NET code generation tool for quickly generating model code from several possible inputs and rendering to several different languages.

Actipro Products Used

Overview

Skeleton Crew generates a code model from sample XML, database schema, or from our own Pseudo.Net modeling language, and renders that model to C#, VB.NET, XSD, SQL or virtually any other language with customizable renderers. The Pseudo.Net modeling language was designed specifically to help you get models laid out quickly in an easily editable format that can be used create starter code. The XML Modeler uses sample XML to generate XML serializable code that's ready to use.

How Actipro's Products Helped

Syntax highlighting is a must in any application that works with a structured language these days. And SyntaxEditor does this beautifully in a robustly customizable way. But this component is packed with plenty of other invaluable features as well such as bookmarks, folding (outlining) and line numbering just to name a few. All within a very easy to use API.

Besides the great functionality of this component, one of its best features is its ease of integration. With an existing product almost ready to release, it took less than an hour to integrate Actipro's SyntaxEditor into Skeleton Crew. Bottom line, ours would be a lesser product without SyntaxEditor.
