Blinq, or "they finally caught up to GenericDB"

Polita Paulus has been hard at work updating her excellent work on the DataGrid and GridView controls for the new LINQ project.

"Blinq is a tool for generating ASP.NET websites for displaying, creating, and manipulating data based on database schema. Just point Blinq at a SQL database and it will create a website with pages that display sorted and paged data, allow you to update or delete records, create new records, and follow relationships between tables in your database. You don't need to write SQL queries to use Blinq; LINQ will generate optimized queries for you that request just the data you want to show. Blinq uses the May LINQ Community Tech Preview to access data. The code Blinq creates is simple and easy to customize to fit your needs. Everything in the website Blinq creates is meant as a starting point for a website that meets your needs perfectly, so have fun customizing the pages, experimenting with the code, and making it yours!"

Check out Blinq!

And speaking of GenericDB, the site will be back up soon, the community has been hard at work creating all sorts of extensions, and all will be available as open-source freeware real soon like. A massive thanks goes out to everyone who's been involved in this project for the past, holy crap, nine (9) years.
