# \[Cool Tool\] ASP.NET Enterprise Manager on Steroids: Ajax, Multiple DB types, And open source!

By Roy Osherove June 11, 2006 In [ASP.NET](https://osherove.com/blog/category/asp-net), [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools), [SQL Server](https://osherove.com/blog/category/sql-server)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 11, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

What would the ASP.NET Enterprise Manager look like with Ajax Support? The [VisualWebGui](http://www.visualwebgui.com/) guys have a clue. [They built a new one from scratch](http://sourceforge.net/projects/vwg-ent-man) with their cool technology for making web from winforms, and they even made it work with a database provider model, so you can manage many database types with it.

On top of that, it's open source.

What more can you ask for? Well, A screenshot!

"Visual WebGui Enterprise Manager is a new open source database administration tool that was developed with Visual WebGui and is based on Microsoft's "Enterprise Manager". Presenting a familiar interface for administrators and developers the application brings the power of the enterprise manger to the web. The application has extended the "Enterprise Manager" with a provider mechanism which will enable managing multi database types in a unified UI. The application is actually a natural evolution of the popular "ASP.NET enterprise manager" and provides the same capabilities and more but with a fully AJAX enabled UI and multiple database type capabilities."
