NConstruct is a fast enterprise environment and application development utility for .NET Framework.

Its goal is to reduce the time used for the development of most commonly used enterprise applications, which consist of data handling and presentation capabilities. 

Here are some key features of "NConstruct":

True Rapid Application Development:
· When you create the database with regard to your customer's demands, you are just a few clicks away from the core of your future application. With NConstruct you get the whole executable and/or source code* for application server, Windows and Web client within minutes.

Robust and scalable .NET Remoting client-server application:
· NConstruct Builder creates robust and scalable application servers which can work as standalone applications or as a Windows Service, and Windows client applications with a .NET Remoting connection to application server. The NConstruct Builder's wizard procedure creates and compiles two Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solutions with full source code and supplementary libraries.

ASP.NET 2.0 Web application:
· NConstruct Builder can also create ASP.NET 2.0 Web applications.* By using Fowler's Presenter pattern, NConstruct uses the same logic twice for two different views - Windows and Web.

Object - oriented design patterns used:
· We used many of available design pattern, and we are also trying to stick to recommendation of programming against interfaces, instead of classes.

Entity source code and NHibernate O/R mapping creation:
· Using a NHibernate "Bottom up" development scenario, which begins with an existing database scheme and data model, the NConstruct Builder extracts metadata from the database and uses it to generate XML mapping files and .NET persistent classes - in other words, a skeleton for the .NET persistence layer.

Generic GUI creation:
· With the help of .NET Attribute and Reflection programming feature, we have created a generic graphical user interface. For all tables in the database NConstruct provides a grid table and single record form with the possibility to search, browse, sort, edit, add, delete, copy, print, and export the data.
· Application module selection
· Multilanguage GUI support
· Integrated security module
· Easy switch of GUI components

Requirements:

· Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or newer
· Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (ASP.NET 2.0 Web application)
· Microsoft Windows Installer 3.0 or newer
· Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (if you want to use generated project and solution files)
· ASP.NET AJAX v1.0 (only with web client enabled)
· Devexpress .NET components (only if you want to use the DevExpress UI namespace)
· one of the supported database servers (currently supported Microsoft SQL Server 2000, MSDE 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Express, MS Access, Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i, Oracle 10g with Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g client)

Limitations:

· 30 Days trial
· Nag screen
