| The Design Environment |
One other thing I’d like to cover is the designer itself. The designer offers a very good WYSIWYG view of each page that is created for the application. The code editor lacks some of VS.NET’s features, like Intellisense, but is otherwise adequate, and the beauty of this is that you very rarely need to write very much code. Figure 9 shows the designer, scrunched down to make it fit most screen widths. The toolbox is normally open and includes all the tools you need to customize any of these pages with your own search boxes, editable grids, etc. Also, the various ‘rich’ controls include Configure links on the design surface, which allow you to easily customize how they are displayed or how they are wired up to the database.

IronSpeed accelerates application development with concentration on business logic(as it creates the basic pages), with features like ajax, advanced datagrid.Code clarity and modularity with documentation increases the effeciency and stylesheets give a stunning look to the application.Flexibility to work with any database, Inegration of Third-party tools, all these decrease response time for application. Pre implemented Advanced Security and Concurrency enables the application to work in multiuser environment.We have been working with IronSpeed since ver 4.3 and it is getting better and better with new features being added in each new version.

This tool like any other, has a learning curve. Blaming the tool 'coz u haven't learnt it isn't the right thing to do.True,there are licensing issues, but you can't expect ReallyGood things for free. I have been using Iron Speed for over a year now, and it has turned out to be great value for money. A small investment has saved me lots of time (and money). More than that, my apps are now Robust and Bugs Free and time required for maintenance is now available for family! All my team members are so glad we work on IronSpeed.

Ok, I'm really sick of all the rosy red reviews of Ironspeed. This program is garbage, that produces more garbage. Within Ironspeed, you cannot make any meaningful changes to the program, and outside of ironspeed, in Visual Studio, none of the controls will even load. If you have to make any sort of actual custom code/buttons/anything good luck with this 'Code generator'. It makes me sad to think that people are so hard up for cash that junk like this passes for a "Code Generator".

Buyer Beware

Beware of their licensing policy. Iron Speed 'froze' my paid-for-license and won't unlock it until I buy a second license because I unknowningly breached their licensing. The license was only activated on one machine and only one user was using it at a time but since I am the 'licensed user' (although I don't develop with it) but someone else at my company does (who isn't the 'named user') and since I logged on to audit his work they are trying to soak me for more money. This has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had...bar none.

Dragondevil - You're right, I should have included the version number in this review. I guess the article date is the best you can go from in this case, but it's definitely good feedback for future articles and reviews.

ahhh I thought this article contained a version number but I guess I was wrong. Including that would be very valuable as well as demonstrate your consistency and as well, attention to detail.
Updates, no matter how minor, would also suggest some integrity in ownership and recognition of value in having done the review in the 1st place.
Versions, dates, updates
