What's new in V3.0?

• Support for Oracle and DB2, NUnit Test Framework and more support for 3rd party webform grids

VBeXpress.NET is a completely new product that has been written from the ground-up using the C# programming language. VBeXpress.NET delivers on and exceeds the power afforded to COM+ developers by VBeXpress 2000. It provides full support for the next generation of Windows, Internet and Wireless applications, which will be based on the .NET framework.

VBeXpress.NET will help you create a fully functional application based on the Microsoft .NET framework in seconds. In three easy steps VBeXpress.NET will save you hours of development time by generating all your database access classes for you. It even generates a fully functional UI for you so that you can add, update or delete any record in your database using embedded SQL or stored procedures. The database classes generated will provide you with high-performance objects that can be used in production environments without any apprehension. If the code that is generated does not meet your standards, simply amend the code generation templates to suit your particular needs.

Benefits of VBeXpress.NET

There are many code generators on the market today. What separates VBeXpress.NET from other code generators is four things:

• VBeXpress.NET generates high-quality high-performance code that is well-commented and ready to withstand the rigors of any production environment
• VBeXpress.NET provides a complete framework for developing desktop and web applications
• VBeXpress.NET allows complete customization of all generated code by allowing you to create or modify code templates which govern the code that is generated
• VBeXpress.NET employs VB.NET script and a rich, extendable object model to generate code

Three Easy Steps to .NET Development

• Connect to the database using VBeXpress easy connect
• Create a project and select the database tables, views, stored procedures, fields and relationships that you wish to include
• Select pre-defined templates (or define your own), hit the Generate button, sit back and watch as a fully working application is built for you in seconds
