This article revolves around being plain lazy. When it comes to creating Form code based on some database table, I hate it! This code sample goes along way in speeding this process up for me. There still is some manual parts to finish up the form code but this takes care of remembering what columns are in the database table. In future releases, we'll provide more functionality to further automate this but this is a big first step in my opinion! The following four steps listed below can be followed and this will generate the ASP.NET code. A big thanks to Dave W. Webmaster of for saving me on many things!!
Define what database you want to connect to in the config.web. This is stored in the connection string
Load the aspx page in your browser, select the table to create the Form code from
Select the checkboxs of which fields to be on the form
Copy and paste into your code..
Here is a screen shot of the File after following the above steps.
Here is the code:
<%@ Page Language="VB" EnableSessionState="False" EnableViewState="True" Trace="False" Debug="False" Strict="True" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Text" %>
