Using the AB Suite MVC Scaffolders

The AB Suite MVC Scaffolder is a Visual Studio extension that is installed with AB Suite Developer or from the Client Framework installation option on the Client Tools CD Browser. It can be used to generate MVC Views and Controllers that are specifically designed to work with AB Suite applications, compared to the Views and Controllers created by the default Scaffolders from Microsoft. The AB Suite MVC Scaffolder also generates a set of infrastructure classes that assist you to access the AB Suite runtime system by using the Client Framework Access Layer API.

You can create custom Views for an ASP.NET MVC project by creating an ASP.NET MVC project, with references to the DataModel assemblies and the AB Suite Access Layer API assemblies, and adding new Scaffolded items to the Views by using the AB Suite MVC Scaffolder.
