We currently have an old product written in classic asp and are about to re-write parts in ASP.NET. One big problem is that much of the cutomer-specifics within the system are hard coded. We want to split this out for specific customers by storing data in the database.

Is there a quick an easy open source framework which allows me to set up some quick tables and simple UIs to allow me to change configuration items? We have 6-7 modules, and it would be nice to have the ability to have system admins gain access to a configuration area where they can set-up settings in a tabbed UI format, settings could also be set-up to allow dropdown, fields, numbers etc. The items could then be accessed via classes in C#/vb for use within the operational parts of the system.

If not, I'm suprised and it might even be a good basis for a new open source project.

ASP.NET Dynamic Data might help. You create the tables as normal, but the UI is easier to cook up for adminsitrative tasks like this.

cool I'd seen a few blogs about it a while ago. Might be worth re-visiting thanks!
