Genero Studio provides a standard template set of files that are used for code generation. The files are written in XML and Tcl.

Default templates
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| dbapp3.1 | This is the default and recommended template for 2.51. |
| dbapp3.0 | This is the default and recommended template for 2.50. |
| dbapp2.0 | This is the default and recommended template for 2.41. |
| dbapp1.0 | The dbapp template in Genero Studio 2.40 was renamed in Genero Studio 2.41 to dbapp1.0. The dbapp template set is the same template set as dbapp1.0. This is the default and recommended template for 2.40. Using the DIALOG instruction, sub-dialog statements that display data, query a database, and edit single records and record lists can execute in parallel, allowing the application to handle different parts of a form simultaneously. |
| 2.3x | This is a legacy template for compatibility with applications developed with Genero Studio 2.3x. |
Template directory contents
GSTDIR/bin/src/ag/tpl/... includes:
- settings.agconf
- creatables.conf
- file-types.xml
- build.rules
- *.tcl
- resource/*/*Note: It is recommended that you not modify the original template files, but make a copy of the directory. Copy the entire content of the GSTDIR/gst/bin/src/ag/tpl/dbapp directory to a new directory. The new template directory could be a common one on the server or it could be part of the entire versioned project.
