Developer Express released their eXpressApp Framework, which is a winform and ASP.NET rapid application development framework that utilizes a number of their other tools and components in DXperience. Per the website:
“The eXpressApp Framework by Developer Express is a powerful instrument for creating business applications quickly and easily. A strong modular architecture allows for platform independent domain specific extensions. Examples of typical applications include business/sales/CRM systems, projects, documentation, HR and training class management, and many others. The currently supported target platforms are Windows Forms and ASP.NET 2, and our open architecture allows extensions of either of these platforms as well as the introduction of completely new targets (WPF support is part of our plans for the future).”
Keep in mind that it is a 1.0 version, but if you are looking for a framework to rapidly build winform and ASP.NET 2.0 applications, you may want to take the trial download for a spin. I suspect that just like with most frameworks there is probably a decent learning curve before you can become really productive, but it may pay off in the long run.
