I'm wondering if anyone has implemented a web UI on top of the AdventureWorks database? IOW, I'm not looking for just a application data layer on top of the schema. Rather, I'm wondering whether anyone has created an ecommerce front end on top the AdventureWorks schema?
A:
You can easily generate one with Subsonic (free)
There are commercial products that can generate an entire application by pointing at a database, IronSpeed, for example. (Has a trial version)

I clarified the question. Not looking for an application data layer on top of the schema but rather an entire application.

Sounds like a good chance to try ASP.NET Dynamic Data (point it at a database and generate a web application that supports basic CRUD procedures).

@Mitch - *gasp* An MVP forgot about Dynamic Data!? Hehe. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about Dynamic Data. Microsoft was big at promoting it for a while and then everything dropped off.
