What's new in v2.0

No more code! Pages can now be built entirely using drag-and-drop and the Visual Studio design-time environment. This makes QuickAdmin considerably easier to use, so you can start producing admin pages sooner.

As an added bonus, the upgrade to v2.0 is free to all customers who have purchased v1.x.

Easy to use

The most significant change in v2.0 is that QuickAdmin is now incredibly easy to use. QuickAdmin's new Visual Studio .NET design-time support makes creating admin pages as simple as dragging the search tools from the toolbox to the page. It really could not be simpler!

Check out the Visual Studio .NET Design-Time Support Preview page for some screenshots of the design-time support, or read through the Tutorial page (this is an excerpt from the help file, included with the installer).

Visual Studio .NET Design-Time Support

  • Controls support drag-n-drop.
  • WYSIWYG design-time render.
  • Control Editor for Admin configuration.
  • Control Editor for ResultsDataGrid mimicking DataGrid functionality.
  • Control Editor For all Search and Edit Controls - can also be used for user defined controls.
  • Improved and optimized paging.
  • QuickAdmin automatically alerts you to releases of new versions.
  • Improved handling of duplicate field names and DataBinding.
  • Exposed properties of child controls (e.g. both of the date controls in LocalBetweenDateTwice, etc.).

Improved Documentation

  • Fully integrated into Windows help file.
  • Tutorial with full walk-through.

Other Functionality

  • List controls can display more than one field from a linked table.
  • Skip View Mode functionality.
  • Show Advanced Controls immediately.
  • Ability to refresh the ResultsDataGrid and View/Edit Controls.
  • Template columns used for links replaced with overridden HyperlinkColumn.

Event support

Introduced in v1.1, and improved in v2.0, QuickAdmin now allows you to attach code to its events. These include:

OnAdding, OnDeleted, OnDeleting, OnEditing, OnInserted, OnInserting, OnResetting, OnSearched, OnSearching, OnUpdated, OnUpdating and OnViewing.

Event support provides you with a great deal of scope to add code and customise the user-experience of QuickAdmin.
