NConstruct 2.0.3

NConstruct 2.0.3 is specially designed as a rapid enterprise application development tool and environment for .NET Framework. Its goal is to reduce the time used for the development of most commonly used enterprise applications, which consist of data handling and presentation capabilities.

Instead of months of developing you can build your core application in minutes!

Major Features:

1. True Rapid Application Development
   
   • When you create the database with regard to your customer's demands, you are just a few clicks away from the core of your future application. With NConstruct you get the whole executable and/or source code* for application server, Windows and Web client within minutes.
2. Robust and scalable .NET Remoting client-server application
   
   • NConstruct Builder creates robust and scalable application servers which can work as standalone applications or as a Windows Service, and Windows client applications with a .NET Remoting connection to application server. The NConstruct Builder's wizard procedure creates and compiles two Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solutions with full source code and supplementary libraries.*
3. ASP.NET 2.0 Web application
   
   • NConstruct Builder can also create ASP.NET 2.0 Web applications.* By using Fowler's Presenter pattern, NConstruct uses the same logic twice for two different views - Windows and Web.
4. Object - oriented design patterns used
   
   • Have many of available design pattern as well as recommendation of programming against interfaces, instead of classes.
5. Entity source code and NHibernate O/R mapping creation
   
   • Using a NHibernate "Bottom up" development scenario, which begins with an existing database scheme and data model, the NConstruct Builder extracts metadata from the database and uses it to generate XML mapping files and .NET persistent classes - in other words, a skeleton for the .NET persistence layer.
6. Generic GUI creation
   
   •  With the help of .NET Attribute and Reflection programming feature, we have created a generic graphical user interface. For all tables in the database NConstruct provides a grid table and single record form with the possibility to search, browse, sort, edit, add, delete, copy, print, and export the data.
7. Application module selection
   
   • NConstruct can include additional modules which you can integrate in your existing databases and applications. A News Web module is included as an example in the NConstruct Professional version.
8. Multilanguage GUI support
   
   • NConstruct supports full multilanguage client application with easy language switching in menu items.
9. Integrated security module
   
   • With NConstruct you also get a powerful application administration module: an application administrator can create and change user's accounts, roles, permissions, concurrency locking settings (even on the single entity type), handle dead-locks, etc. Automated data controls are integrated in the entire application: permission control (create, read, update, delete, execute), field validators, concurrency locking (optimistic or pessimistic) etc.
10. Easy switch of GUI components
    
    • With the usage of Abstract Factory Pattern, developer can easy switch to other 3rd party UI components (such as Developer Express, Telerik, Component One, Infragistic etc.). NConstruct can work with core Microsoft UI components but also added the support for Developer Express UI components as an example.

Enhancements: Correct failed COM registration during the installation (error 800040154).
