Sounds really cool! Looking forward

Thanks Bert. I didn't realize Codesmith was free, I just downloaded and I may try to generate some pages with your existing code just because I need to dummy some stuff for the client to see. I look forward to the new code when you have it ready.

I haven't played with Frans' new template studio yet. Codesmith was pretty quick to get a handle on, I assume it's something similar to that...

I remember 10 years ago how bad code generators were but things are certainly changing for the better.

Uh oh...I just read your readme closer, this is for adapter scenario, I'm using self-servicing. I guess it would still be OK for generating dummy screens, though I would have to go to the trouble of setting up an adapter project, so probably not worth it.

Why does step 7 talk about CreateNorthwindVirtualDirectory.vbs? There is some Northwind stuff in here?

Hi, I've been trying out these excellent templates, but am struggling with the action procedures controller class. The actionProceduresController class generated wants to instantiate an instance of a 'ActionProcedureLogEntity', however I can't find it. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Nigel.

I beleive that was some left over code in the latest release and not useable at this time.

You should either remove the references from the template generated code OR take the references out of the CodeSmith templates

Sorry to all of those waiting for me...don't give up hope just yet

I have been hiding for a few weeks in DBA hell. Nothing like a few 5 TB databases with billion + rows with a bit of corruption.

Anyhow I have a working example of my server controls but I have a few bugs to work out. I kept finding bugs so I decided to write an application using them to really work out all of the bugs.

I decided to write a Document Management module for DotNetNuke 3.0. I plan on releasing it once 3.0 is out which should be soon. This will be a free module and gave me a chance to test all of the functionality. Once this is done I will convert the templates to the template studio and take a look at the new BL templates that everyone has been working on.

Have a happy holidays everyone

Bert

YAY

Wow this sounds pretty cool, any ideas on when it will be out there? Also will it be exclusively for adapter scenario rather than self serviceing? I ask because I am unsure how to design my app and the fact it would be compatible with these templates would swing it for me.

Hopefully in the next week or so. I have some major showstopper issues I need to resolve first. Dont count on two weeks either as I have been saying this for a few months

But it will be soon. I will release them at about the same time dotnetnuke 3 is done. I have created a document mangement module using these templates. that I iwll be releasing at the same time.

I have some screen shots to tease you guys with. Sorry for the big images. I have a table in my dataabse thats called library settings that stores teh config options.

** Here is what the ascx code looks like like**

** Here is what the code behind looks like. I can also set properties in code. To fetch a record I just set the PK value and change the mode to edit **

** Here is whatVS Design mode looks like. notice FK's are rendered as DropDowns and bool's as check boxes, also notice you can set the properties on the right **

** rendered in browser**

** Search form. Will automatically build predicate for you based on user input**

Bert

That looks great!

I cant wait. Are these going to hook up to Adapter or Self servicing templates (or both)?

I'm still keeping an eye on this....and those screenshots look really cool!! Can't wait to see in action!

Ha! I look at my comment on the first page of this thread, and then I look at these screen shots... and then I wish I could delete that old post! This looks awesome!

Me licks me chops in anticipation

How's it coming Bert? I can't wait to give it a go

I know I know its only vaporware now

Unlike most people here I do not have a job as a deveolper. I kind of picked up LLBLGen as a hobby. My full time job is as a DBA. I havent picked up the code in about 2 months. I do hope to get around to it soon. I have been too busy at work on a new project and testing x64 windwos and yukon.

toooo mnay things to do not enough time. If it takes me much longer I will probably pass off the code to someone as as....this would be kind of tricky as it it is not very straight forward now.

Bert

I hear ya man...

Personally, I see the need for me to learn CodeSmith, and your screens have inspired me. I am so burned out on building site management tools...

Would you like to post your latest code and templates? You say you are a hobbyist, so I guess it can't be too hard for me to learn as well

You don't need codesmith, LLBLGen Pro has a more flexible code generation engine and template editor

Bert,

Have you had a chance to extend these templates since your last set of posts?
