Remarks

Prompt to Expression converts natural language into valid filter and unbound column expressions for data-aware WinForms controls. Instead of writing complex expressions, users describe the desired logic in plain text. The system sends the prompt to the configured AI service, which generates a valid expression for the control. The Expression Editor or Filter Editor immediately displays and validates the result immediately.
