More Information about Template TAGS

Now we don't have user description of template tags. You should wait for the next ASPRunner.NET version. We will totally change work with template tags and will add user description of template tags.
PS: template tags for FilePath, Login and password fields - will transfer to ##CONNECTION_STRING##

Ok, Thanks.

I hope this new release will come out very soon.

Now we don't have user description of template tags. You should wait for the next ASPRunner.NET version. We will totally change work with template tags and will add user description of template tags.

I am evaluating the current version and this raises a few questions:

1. When do you envisage the new version becoming available?
   
2. Is there an automatic upgrade provided if I purchase the current version?
   
3. If the template scenario is going to change, will there be an automated conversion process provided or will we have to do this manually?
   
4. Do you have any documentation for the existing template editor? As an overview? And "how to use" please?
   Thanks

1. We are going to issue new release in 2 months.
   
2. If you buy current version, you get free update period for a year
   
3. Didn't understand your question
   
4. Unfortunately, we don't have any documentation for template editor.

......

Thanks for your reply.

Question 3 related to our earlier response "..We will totally change work with template tags..".

If this is all changing do we then have to manually make adjustments to tags or will there be some thing to automatically change the templae tags from what they are now to the new tags?
I am currently evaluating this product against competitors such as APEXSQL and ASP.NET maker and am keen to understand what is required outside of the 'wizard" parts of these tools. Your automated code generation looks great so far but, as a developer, I cannot yet determine how easy it is to

• combine the produced pages with a "master Page" - for view/add/update pages and just the "List" pages
  
• integrate it with existing pages produced by other tools such as Dreamweaver and their templates
  
• add my own javascript based "fly out" menus to all pages
  
• show "no records found" type message rather than just showing a blank list
  
• format the size of text fields in add/update pages
  
• Include validation on input fields
  
• work with your program as part of my toolkit
  

Perhaps a preview of the intended new features/enhacements in the upcoming upgrade might be a useful thing to provide existing and potential customers like myself.
Thanks

New version compatibility will be provided on the project file level. If you change anything in templates manually - it will not work in new version.
In this version "Master Page" support is only for List pages. You can enable it in ASPRunner.NET wizard at step 12 (Output Directory)

You can use Master Page for all pages in the project in the next version.
Output files are completely compatible with Microsoft Visual Web Developer or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You can open, edit and add generated code with this programs without any restrictions.
To display "no records found" try to enter the following code in list.aspx file: EmptyDataText="no records found"

For example:

old code:

<asp:GridView id="dbGrid_f##SHORTTABLENAME##" runat="server" CssClass="Grid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BorderStyle="Dotted" Width="100%">

new code:

<asp:GridView id="dbGrid_f##SHORTTABLENAME##" runat="server" CssClass="Grid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BorderStyle="Dotted" Width="100%" EmptyDataText="no records found">
You can change the size of text fields in add/update pages and add validation on input fields in wizard at Formatting page. You can get more info here: http://xlinesoft.com/asprunnernet/docs/for...ing_options.htm
If you would like to overview the next ASPRunner.NET version, you can download ASPRunnerPro http://xlinesoft.com/asprunnerpro/download.htm. It generates ASP code instead of ASP.NET

1) We are going to issue new release in 2 months.

Eugene,
Will there be a new release for ASPRunner.Net by June 9, 2007? Any schedule for beta release for existing customers to test before the release?
