You can view the tree either by pages or files as shown below. On the left is pages view, on the right is files view.

There are property pages for everything you create in CodeCharge Studio which makes keeping track and modifying things very easy.

I found the Toolbox to be extremely valuable for saving time and keeping work load to a minimum.

In the Builder Toolbox are utilities for:

1. Grid Builder

2. Record Builder

3. Editable Grid Builder

4. Grid and Record Builder

5. Search Builder

6. Directory Builder

7. Pop Up Date Picker Builder

8. Authentication Builder

All of the above will be covered in pages in this review.

The Forms Toolbox has some very valuable tools for those more experienced.

22. File Upload - Very Cool! No need for third party software for file uploads for ASP pages!

The HTML Builder Toolbox has all the necessary items for creating/adding quick HTML.

There are 5 preview views. Below is the Design view.

Below is the Preview view.

When you click on the Live Page view a dialog opens up for publishing to your local web.

If the path for your project doesn't exist in your local web you are prompted to have it created.

The Messages window is a very cool tool that shows you what is happening and any errors if they occur. You don't have to rely solely on the Messages window however as it has been my experience that you will also get an alert pop up letting you know there was a problem and what it was. It may even have options for you to choose from to fix the problem that was encountered.

What we have here is the framework for a project. We have one HTML page with nothing on it. We'll have to add whatever things we want manually.

That's the basics of the blank project option. On the next page we'll explore creating an application with the application builder. On to the  Application Builder page.

 FrontPage Add-In and Conclusion

This is the Standard License that gives you the right to own and run the software forever, similarly to buying a packaged software in a store.  Minor software upgrades/updates/patches will be offered free of charge for unlimited time.  However, major software upgrades may be offered in the future at an additional cost, for example an upgrade from version 2.0 to version 3.0 may be priced at $150 (exact pricing to be determined at the time of the release). You can protect yourself from additional upgrade fees by subscribing to the Annual Maintenance Plan, or by purchasing a non-perpetual license (subscription) instead. Non-Perpetual License
279.95 (US) per year per user

This is License Rental that gives you the opportunity to cost-effectively "subscribe" to, or rent, licenses of CodeCharge Studio software on an annual basis.  You  benefit by having the right to always use the latest version of the product at no additional charge.  For tax-saving purposes, you can also report such software expenditure as a business expense rather than depreciating capital investment.
