Professional ASP NET database forms

Using smartDBforms.NET framework you can easily create a details view or form view of a database table. Similar to the standard FormView and DetailsView ASP NET Web server controls.

smartDBforms.NET(smart database forms for ASP.NET) has advanced design time support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 .NET and Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005. smartDBforms.NET framework is highly customizable. You have full access to the user interface templates and can redesign them using the design time surface of Visual Studio. You have full control over the mapping of data types to user interface templates. smartDBforms.NET consists of several ASP.NET server controls. smartDBforms.NET provides a data source control which auto generates insert, update and delete statements. When reading the data it extracts the meta information which is used by the SmartDBView and SmartDBControl controls to select the proper user interface template. The template displays the data and allows the user to edit the data. Just drop a SmartDBControl wherever you want on the SmartDBView container, select the field to bind to and that's it. The display or edit user interface is populated at runtime by inspecting the meta data information supplied by the SmartDataSource.
