New controls:

Creating a simple forum application

I am currently putting together a small forum application, which will be available as a separate download at wigbi.com.

The application will be 99% configured so that you only have to download it and configure it as little as possible to get started. This will make it even easier to create your own applications with Wigbi.

The application will feature three new, small seeds:

• Forum
• ForumThread
• ForumEntry

As well as a few new controls.
