Is there a Django-like admin interface generator for ASP.NET or ASP.NET MVC?
If not, are there any tools that could assist in creating one?

A:
ASP.NET Data Dynamics may be what you're looking for.
It helps to quickly generate interfaces you can use to manage your data.

There is nothing for MVC that I know of. T4 templating will get you pretty close to this type of automatic interface generation for dummy CRUD pages. There are lots of freely available templates if you do a bit of searching.

Cool. I actually prefer MVC over traditional webforms. I will look into this, though I expect it will still be a lot of work compared to the 'magic' that is performed by Django. Of course I could write it myself and everyone could benefit, but I am afraid I am too lazy :).

I haven't had the chance to use them myself, but I suspect there are t4 templates available that will get you 80% of the way there. I found Dynamic data to be too rigid for my MVC tastes, but it will probably get you closer to 100% of the way. Depends on how lazy you are feeling I suppose. :)
