VBeXpress.NET - Generate .NET applications

Excellent. A must have.   Posted on Monday, June 23, 2003

Best code generator I've seen. Uses VB.NET scripting making it totally configurable.

Not that good   Posted on Monday, December 15, 2003

Very buggy interface and no updates have been done in a long time. I wouldn't really trust a future with this generator. I should have tested this product more before purchasing.

VBeXpress.NET (3.0) Strengths and Weaknesses   Posted by: mfreidge on Thursday, November 25, 2004

I am using VBeXpress.NET (3.0) for half an year for ASP.NET application development. It has well structured (n-tiered) generated code. They also have relatively easy extendable generation templates.
However there are still many bugs/enefficiencies in the generated code and in the generator GUI itself. Fortunately, most of them can be fixed by modifying templates. But every developer have to fix them by himself.
Propogate the modification of database(e.g adding a column) to the code is also very time consuming.
The biggest disadvantage of VBeXpress is their very poor support: they ignore many questions and if answer, almost always after I found the solution by myself. There is no support forum/discussion group.
In summary, the product is a good start for a new project, but be prepared to do a lot of coding by yourself later to make a production quality application.

I'm saddled with VBexpress and have no choice   Posted by: Duncan Wilde on Tuesday, July 10, 2007

I'm maintaining (and re-writing) a number of commercial websites. They have mostly been created using VBexpress. I have no manual, and the manufacturers website wont let me in without a username and password. Any idea where I can get a manual?
