Includes 7 template libraries (the Core Template Libraries) that contain
51 templates: 22 for generating C# code, 22 for generating VB.NET code, and 7
for generating T-SQL stored procedures. The templates in these libraries have
the following characteristics:
-
Produce n-tier solutions, the most scalable and flexible way to develop and
structure systems.
-
Can generate Web Forms for editing records with fields grouped in tabs.
-
Can generate Web Forms in which values for foreign-key fields can be chosen
with combo boxes or with pop-up search pages.
-
Can automatically detect and produce pages that permit the manipulation of
master-detail relationships.
-
Can generate powerful search pages, with pagination for the matching records.
-
The code generated is based on Microsoft-sponsored examples such as Duwamish
