I'm looking for an existing 'View builder' compatable with VS.Net
Something for an end user that has similar functionality to the view creation tool in Enterprise Manager.
User selects table(s), column(s) and conditionals from lists and gets the result set.
ie, SELECT FirstName, LastName, Phonenumber WHERE State='CA'
Is anyone familiar with a tool on the market useable by an end user?
I have looked at all of the related products at http://www.componentsource.com as well as at Programmer's Paradise and Xtras. Of the few targetted for end-user implementation, none seem to provide capabilities of selection from linked tables.

The basic requirements are that I need something that allows me to define column aliases as well as the ability to exclude which columns the users can see and choose from.
Additionally, it would be helpful to provide formatting fucntionality in addition to simply a resulting dataset.
I imagine our requirements may be a bit too narrow for a generic tool. Most that I have seen are designed to be used by developers. The few that are marketed for end-users still expose just the raw table/column information for selection.
Developing something specific for our needs is not that difficult and I am well into that process, just thought I would take once last shot at locating something.
Thanks for the follow-up, Andy. This site is without a doubt the best technical resource I have found.
