ASP.NET Maker

ASP.NET Maker is a Windows utility that can help you put together ASP.NET Core MVC web applications using SQL Server, Access, MySQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL databases. It has a wide range of features for creating and designing websites for others to view, modify and search as well as add and remove records from.

Following a speedy setup operation, you're greeted by a user-friendly interface that invites you to get started by configuring database settings. You can select from Access, SQL Server, SQL Server 2005 / 2008 / 2012 / 2014 / 2016, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC or connection string, then set up the connection details, such as server address, port, user name, password, and database name. Tables can be loaded dynamically.

Once the connection is made, you can view and edit tables, create views, custom views, detailed or summary reports, as well as attach files. It's possible to synchronize the table and view, delete invalid objects, view loaded tables only, and edit the menu.

As far as ASP.NET options are concerned, you can set the default date format, allow multiple languages, set a folder to upload files to (along with the maximum file size and allowed file types), set up an email account for sending data to, and customize page settings when it comes to the number of records per page, using buttons as links or the modal dialog for advanced search, and so on. In addition to sending data to an email address, it can be saved as CSV, HTML, Excel, Word, PDF or XML files.

Meanwhile, the HTML configuration can be made for general aspects, such as the title, chartset, site icon, header logo and footer text, the theme (background and text colors for the side header, left column, footer and table header) and CSS. The design can be previewed in the main window during this time.

Advanced security features are supported by ASP.NET Maker, giving you the possibility to set an administrator login account and assign login name and password fields to any table.

Taking everything into account, ASP.NET Maker comes packed with rich features for helping you build ASP.NET Core MVC web apps using a preferred database. It had minimal impact on computer performance in our tests and worked smoothly on Windows 10.
