Is a code generator for .NET developers. It can generate entire
Winform and Webform applications from an existing SQL-Server or
MS-Access database. It contains over 150 code generation
templates and has support for over seven different Winform
grids. The code generation engine leverages Visual Studio for
Applications (VSA). This means that code generation is
controlled by scripts which are fully-customizable using
VBeXpress.NET’s in-built template editor. The latest version
has been updated to include support for VS.NET 2003.

Best code generator I've seen. Uses VB.NET scripting making it totally configurable.
Not that good

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?
