Search Bar and Advanced Adaptive Filters

We are pleased to announce immediate availability of automatic Search Bars and Advanced Adaptive Filters. You can try these feature live at http://codeontime.com/demo.aspx.

Automatic Search Bars

A search bar can be activated if you click on the icon on the left side of the Quick Find search box.

First three data fields in a grid view are automatically listed in the search bar. Each field is provided with type sensitive options and input fields to enter a sample value. If there is a filter applied to a grid view then the search bar will feature all current filter options preselected on it.

Input fields for text data fields offer predictive text input and automatic adaptive filter options. You can see this features activated in the screenshot below.

Database Object Selector

Code On Time generator creates database web applications that allow working with all tables and views of your data store. You can limit the number of data objects in your application by excluding those that are not needed in Designer.

The new option allows specifying the scope of your project on Database Connection page of the project wizard.

The following picture shows the project that will include all tables and views.

image

Click on “Select the database tables and views included in the project” link and database object selector will be presented.

Make your selection and click OK button.

Continue until you reach the summary of data controllers.

If you are testing this feature with Northwind database then you will see a substantially shorter list of database objects included in the project.

Testing and Deploying ASP.NET 4.0 Apps

Code OnTime code generator is not using IIS to run the generated web sites on development machine.

Please install one of the following on your machine to enable testing of ASP.NET 4.0 web sites generated with Code OnTime generator:

Both products will install local Web Developer Server on your machine. There are two Web Developer servers capable of running ASP.NET 3.5, and ASP 4.0. You can find the at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\10.0".

Our code generator is producing ASP.NET 3.5 web sites for all code generation projects. Web Site Factory code generation project also supports ASP.NET 4.0. The code generator will need WebDev.WebServer40.EXE to run the ASP.NET 4.0 projects.  Otherwise WebDev.WebServer20.exe is required.

image

If you run the code generator and select the "browse" option next to the name of your project then the appropriate version of the local web server will be started.

If you are generating an ASP.NET 4.0 project and running it under IIS 7 then the following requirements must be met:

You may need to execute "iisreset" from command line to restart the server for  changes to take affect.

Otherwise the application deployment procedure is based on XCOPY model. You will find numerous deployment options described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178610(VS.80).aspx.

We are planning to publish a visual tutorial explaining the deployment process on our YouTube channel. Subscribe to be notified when next batch of tutorials is available.
