I am ew to building CF apps for PPC. I have been building asp.net 1.1 and
now 2.0 apps for some time. I have started working on a PPC app for myself -
a veterinary drug and dosage calculator. For example i have a form that
calculates the amount of dopamine to add to 1 liter of fluids based on
patients weight in kgs, fluid rate etc. My question is i will have many of
these calculators - whats the best to organize them? Should each one have
its own form? And then have a main form that has linklables that i can use
to load the appropriate form based on which link is clicked or arethere
other approaches?

The best person to answer these questions is probably your customer, not us.
This is a usability issue.

I am the customer :) Building a little app to make my life as a vet easier
Are there any design guidelines docs for CF apps that you can point me to? I
ahve googled some and not really come w/ anyhing.
 
There may be as many as 20 of theses calculators. So far i hav started
using the treeview control and then depeding o0n which child node is
selected load the appropriate form.
 
Another consideration might be to use one form and depending upon how
complex the form is, you could dynamically add controls.
 
The forms arent too complex - at most 4 or so textboxes with labels, a
button calculate and a lable for the result. I amy try this approach.
Thanks...
 
Hello,
you might want to differentiate things like dose/kg/min and dose/min,
but the rest you can probably put on just one form and have drop down menus
for kg/lb mcg/mg/gm/kg and fluid sizes of your iv bag.

hope this helps,
