The NextAge Open Source Application is meant as a “teaching” tool to provide sample code and a testing bed for all of NextAge’s open source classes and code. Along with using our Open Source classes, there is a collection of miscellaneous code and procedures that may be useful, but are not something appropriate to be put into a class. This document is meant to give a general overview of the application and attempt to document some of the code that is not part of one of the Open Source classes. Readers of my blog should also recognize some code from previous articles, as generally I have used this application as my testbed when writing. As with all of our Open Source projects you are welcome to use what suits you and ignore what doesn’t!

Classed Included are:

* BallonTip
Creates Popup Balloon tips on controls, used by the Business Rules class but can be used standalone as well. See separate documentation.
* BrowseFormManager
