Aquarium in a Box is a
subscription code generator project that implements an entire application as an
ASP.NET 3.5 class library with
Ajax Control Toolkit and
JSON web service straight from your database. The project is designed to handle databases of any size, while providing modern
Ajax-enabled user interface and great scalability.
Data Aquarium Framework is in the foundation of this class library. The project includes a collection of code files, a single web service, and a few JavaScript components. The framework relies on
XML data controller descriptors that combine
SQL queries, data fields, views, and actions to render an advanced
AJAX-powered presentation.
This class library will incorporate the entire framework source code without any external dependencies. All images, JavaScript files, cascading stylesheets, and data controller descriptor files will be incorporated into the library as embedded resources.
A sample web application project is created by code generator to provide a quick start in development process. Only a handful of entries from sample web.config file and a web service header file must be included in your own project.
Try the sample application that works with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and implements a collection of data controllers of a small mail order enterprise.
