          How would a computer be faster than you with a pen and paper? Seriously, blocking out the general interface using pen and paper is much quicker - you just need to work out what goes where and if you don't like the positioning, you can easily start again.

            I already have some general view of the application and I would like to make a model in computer now. If you now some software for that please write. I haven't posted this in order to argue which is better

                  Visual Studio. Seriously, it's fairly trivial to knock up the framework of your application in VS.NET - and then you'll have something to build on later.

                    Well, the three tools I use are: * Pen and paper (or whiteboard if I need to share in realtime) * Visio (for documentation) * Visual Studio (because the class diagram gives me what I need and it is easy to create stub code to start off with)

                      absolutely. VS is also quicker to make a a mockup than visio, and visio's fake app controls don't look exactly like the real thing either.

                      -- CleaKO The sad part about this instance is that none of the users ever said anything [about the problem]. Pete O`Hanlon Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about users?
