Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any way i can implement an application which will do the following.

Allow a user to specifiy a connection string to a sql db
Allow a user to specify a table in the db
Allow a user to specify columns from the specified table
Generate Views & a Controller with Crud methods on the fly for the specified table columns in a subdirectory on the current web app.

I'm aware that there are apps that currently do this (such as sharepoints list creation stuff), but i'd like to see how this was accomplished and recreate it for my own learning purposes.

Thanks alot for any help
