    <p>I think what you'll find in the .Net world is that you have a lot of choices to make. Rails is nice because it provides all of that stuff in one place, but developing for .Net you'll have to piece together a solution of your own.</p> <ul> <li>Generators - There are various code generation facilities, but each one is for a different piece. Eg, you can get MyGeneration that will generate code based on a database.</li> <li>Gems/Plugins - No uniting system for this; Components can be found on the web and you would download either the source or the .dll, then you would add a reference in your project to the assembly (.dll).</li> <li>Databases - you can connect to pretty much anything; You'll probably find the most guidance for an MS SQL Server.</li> <li>Migrations - I don't know of a direct method for this in the .net world; I usually write SQL code in SQL and run scripts on the server manually as part of deployment.</li> <li>Routes - ASP.Net MVC includes routes, look in the global.asax.cs file that gets generated when you create a project for example.</li> <li>Models (ORMs) - ORMs for .Net are all over the place. Included as part of .Net are things like Linq-to-sql and the Entity Framework. Outside of MS you can find many, but I'd probably recommend NHibernate.</li> <li>Controllers - Built in to .Net MVC; You get to write the code.</li> <li>Views - Built in to .Net MVC; Once again you get to write them. MasterPages allow you to get the same general layout on all your pages(including common header/footer, etc), Web Controls (.ascx files) allow you to do a partial view.</li> <li>Rails Console - I don't know exactly what this provides (I'm a .net developer interested in learning Rails, but haven't spent much time yet); Visual Studio lets you debug applications, step through code, etc. I don't think there are any consoles available to test code outside of just writing the code, compiling, and running it.</li> <li>Test Units/Specs - There are a few test frameworks for .Net (MS has a framework included, NUnit is one alternative). For specs and such, probably google around for Behavior Driven Design and see what exists.</li> </ul>

    1. COThanks, Chris, this is helpful. RE: Rails Console--it's cool.This might be an affordance of a dynamic interpreted scripting language. This is a good example: http://railscasts.com/episodes/48-console-tricks

    3. CO@ASP.NET - thanks for the link, looks very useful. Visual Studio provides some of the information available in the Rails console (eg, Intellisense will pop up for autocompletion, you can navigate to classes and such to see what is available, etc. Unfortunately you can't actually interact with your code the same way. While debugging, you can set a breakpoint and then interact in the Immediate console of VS, however there are definite limits to what you can accomplish here.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
