Data Filters, Grid View Templates, GUID handling improvements

New release of Data Aquarium Framework and Aquarium Express code generator projects introduces improvements in GUID field handling. Few bugs were reported by users with uniqueidentifier fields used as primary key fields and foreign keys in MS SQL Server database tables. Code improvements in the libraries will allow for more robust processing of various data types including unique identifiers.

Data Aquarium Framework has introduced two new features:

  1. Server-side data filters allow limiting record sets displayed in views based on user identity or role. Supply all sorts of reusable filters and share them in multiple data controllers.
  2. Grid views now allow behavior similar to AccordionExtender in AjaxControlToolkit. You can supply your own inline form templates. See a live demo of grid templates. Read about it here.

Let us know what you think.
