Ant Content Entry provides a comprehensive set of functionality for defining, entering, validating and storing structured data.

It speeds the development process by providing a robust platform for querying the user for simple and complex information, validating it and storing it.

It allows for:

		Dynamic content creation, via easy to use GUI for dynamic content definition. Integrated in to your applications, users can define content type for future entry. See Ant Workflow for an example of how content entry is used.
		Entering content, providing both Windows and Web forms for content. This allows for applications to be built on one platform and quickly ported to another.
		Validating content, providing a more reliable interface. Content is automatically validated at the border between the user interface and business logic, guarenteeing the business logic clean data whether entered by web or by Windows.
		Content entry based on classes, allowing quick prototyping of user interface. Using .NET attributes classes can be edited using automatically generated forms, this powerful technique can greatly speed development of simple user interfaces element, and allow the more complex elements to be quickly prototyped.
		Storage of content, content can be flexibly stored in a relational database. It can be stored as an XML blob or a completely relational structure or any point between the two.
		Extensible, new display types, new validation rules and new conversion rules can all be easily added to the framework. Allows for any content to be modelled.

Ant Content Entry is integrated into Ant Hierarchy, which allows content definitions and structured content to be stored in a hierarchy (similar to the file system).
It is used by Ant Workflow to provide case and parameter definitions for workflows.
