+1 Q:

Code OnTime ASP.Net code generator

Does somebody tested Code OnTime on a real world project (codeontime.com)? Technology looks promising, but their free version restrictions are too restrictive. I managed to put only few tables in a model, real DB has 20+tables. Also it is not clear how generated site works where DB contains lot of records. To my surprise I didn't find any reviews or blog posts on this topic. I consider to buy a license, but I'm in doubts.

If not Code OnTime, are there any other decent code generator? All I need is front end to DB and simple security.

Thank you, Alex

Holy buzzwords batman. That site looks a little scary to me. I can't speak to the code it generates, but if you're looking for a decent front-end to a few database tables, ASP.NET Dynamic Data comes to mind. For some reason, it's not one of the more well-known features of ASP.NET, but it really should be. There are a lot of tutorials out there on the web, and it will probably do everything you're wanting it to do.

Unfortunately Dynamic Data is not an option. It was my first attempt. Like any new Microsoft technology, it looks attractive only on demo video. When you are trying to make one step in other direction, it fails completely. You end up customizing

every single page, and do all coding, no scaffolding support there. So it is good idea and nice try, but this technology is not production ready, it is geek joy.

I doubt you spent much time with it, then. Too bad.

Perhaps yes. I spent enough to estimate coding time. If you need custom template for each and every table, what support can you get from DD? What the point in making separate template for every table? There is no other way for customization.
