Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition

ASP.NET 2.0 Visual Query Builder component

Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition is designed for ASP.NET 2.0 environment, it provides native and easy way to embed visual query building functionality into your ASP.NET projects. Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition is based on Active Query Builder .NET (Windows Forms) Edition. Utilizing the same powerful SQL parsing engine, it's end-user web interface has much in common with the ancestor.

With Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition you can parse, analyze and get access to internal query representation objects at the server side. At the client side, it provides powerful and easy-to-use interface with ability to combine visual query building process with direct SQL text editing to build complex SQL queries for the most of popular SQL dialects.

The client side of Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition is written in pure HTML+CSS to separate web page layout from the content for a quicker, efficient, and easier redesign. Built with standard jQuery framework, Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition heavily utilizes AJAX technology to provide rich interactivity through the advent of asynchronous HTTP requests that do not require page refreshes to return responses from a server-side. Active Query Builder ASP.NET Edition takes extremely low amount of web traffic and achieves high throughput performance by minimizing all network packets (using light-weight libraries, code packing, on-the-fly compression and JSON data formatting).

  • SQL parser with full access to internal query representation objects.

    Active Query Builder gives you full control over the SQL query - you can easily parse SQL queries and navigate them using the internal query builder objects tree that represents all parts of the SQL query. You can edit existing queries or create new SQL queries using these objects in run-time. (See the Non-visual and Query Modification demo projects that included in the Trial version)

  • ADO.NET and custom metadata providers.

    We are planning to create metadata providers for all popular database connectivity components but, of course, we cannot cover them all. Thus we provided the other ways to load metadata to the query builder from any data source. Using them you can work disconnected providing all necessary metadata information by yourself. (You may learn more about different ways to load metadata at the Load Metadata demo project that included in the Trial version)
