I have a website for which I need to implement the admin interface. The functionality is pretty generic and should include CRUD operations to DB tables and charts etc.

I know I can whip up something pretty quickly using the GridView control but was wondering if there's something open source that supports this functionality so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Have you looked into ASP.NET Dynamic Data (my bold):

ASP.NET Dynamic Data brings major usability and RAD development changes to the existing ASP.NET data controls. RAD development is significantly increased by the use of a rich scaffolding framework. After you add a LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework data model to a project, you can simply register it with Dynamic Data. The result is a fully functional Web site. Full CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations are supported.

This would at least get the "CRUD" data-manipulation part of the site out of the way for you with minimal effort. There's also an ASP.NET Charting control that you could take a look at, which Scott Guthrie gave an overview of, I have to say I haven't yet used it but it does look pretty good.

@Rob - It supports only Linq 2 Sql or EF?

@DotnetDude, you're working in .net 3.5, so is that a problem?

@Rob - Not really. However, it's not consistent with the home grown data access that the rest of the app uses.
