If you have already designed the DataWindow objects you need in DataWindow Designer, then the .NET Framework development environment is where you will do most of the work required to build ASP.NET applications that use DataWindows. There are three areas that might require you to work in DataWindow Designer:
Designing new DataWindow objects or tuning existing DataWindow objects to avoid the use of unsupported features
Setting DataWindow object properties that control the XML, XHTML, or HTML that is generated for your DataWindow objects
Designing XHTML templates to customize the XHTML generated by the XML and XHTML Web DataWindows
This chapter covers the first two of these areas. For information about customizing export templates, see Chapter 11, “Working with XHTML Templates.”
