Project: Automation.
Location: Chennai.
Technologies: VB.Net, SQL Server 2005 and JAVASCRIPT. Role: Developer.
Project Summary:
The project is developed to automate the development for Data Layer and Presentation Layer. But it’s only focused on Master Screens; it will support Transaction screens partially. The main screen name is called Table Creation. It’s used to create the tables dynamically. While creating tables we have the option to select the type of columns, it will fetch from Control Type master tables. The Control Type table contains the type of control whatever is avail in .Net
(Textbox-Dropdown List, C-Checkbox, etc.).So after creating the tables we will click the Generate Data Layer Button. So it’ll generate the DL for every table in separate class files. This class files only contains the general things like Insert, Update, Delete and select, etc. If we need some other specific function we need to create manually in the relevant class files. After creating the DL creation we have to create menus in PL .Every menu linked to the relevant tables. While clicking the menu it will generate the controls. This is how the Automation will work. The main advantage of this product is time consumption for master screens and if we want to change anything in screen levels that it will be very easy to do. If we change the table structure it will automatically reflect the screen appearance.
