Save time by cloning screens to create a new one, or prior to making breaking changes. Use as a tool to help you prototype screen designs with your users and create multiple copies of the same screen to make comparisons.
Create simple backups of selected screens and related code behind. We use intelligent visual identification of screens that have changed since the last backup. Take periodic backups of your screens and set a restore point should you need it.
Transfer your legacy screens from LightSwitch 2011 and 2012 Projects into Visual Studio 2013 Cloud Business Apps using AIDE Exchange Hub.
Export to file and share your screens between your Visual Studio projects, colleagues and the community or simply take a snapshot of all of your screens for a new solution.
Add both simple and complex sample screens into your projects from the other projects and the community. Use it to upgrade from other projects a screen at a time without having to upgrade the original solution.
Don't spend days manually documenting your development when AIDE can extract your project metadata to clipboard in microseconds. Simply paste to Excel to create advanced data filtering and reporting.
