==Software==

CodeCharge utilizes [[point-and-click]] [[Wizard (software)|wizard]]s<ref name=sullivan2002/> for creating record and search forms, grids, and editable grids without the need for programming. The Databasesdatabases supportedit aresupports include MySQL, MS SQL Server, MS Access, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, andas allwell othersas any other database that supportsupports web connectivity. CodeCharge can export intocode to all major programing languages, such as [[ASP.NET]], [[Active Scripting|ASP]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[ColdFusion]], [[PHP]], and [[Perl]].<ref name=dreier2002/><ref name=macintyre2006>Peter B. MacIntyre. "[http://www.yessoftware.com/download/files/pdf/May_2006_CCS.pdf CodeCharge 3.0 Yet Another IDE?]" ''php|architect'' May 2006</ref>

CodeCharge is based on an interactive [[user interface]] (UI) to create web applications.<ref name=arzoumani2003/> Here are listed technologies which used, when the application is ready and running. Application generating technologies here are not discussed. A CCS generated project - without additional programming - is not a routed web sited (where everything routed i.e. through index.asp), but every page accessible by on its own name.

CodeCharge employs an interactive [[user interface]] (UI) designed for the creation of web applications.<ref name=arzoumani2003/> When generating code, CodeCharge automatically structures itthe code, using naming conventions and comments to make the purpose ofdescribe the code's clearpurpose.<ref>Mike Gunderloy "[http://mcpmag.com/articles/2002/08/07/codecharge-studio-106.aspx Product Reviews: CodeCharge Studio 1.0.6]." ''Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine''. 08/07/2002.</ref> Moreover, CodeCharge keeps the application separate from the code it generates, so that projects may be converted to any language at any time.<ref name=yank2002>Kevin Yank "[http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 Software Reviews] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610234431/http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 |date=10 June 2011 }}." ''SitePoint Tech Times'', Issue #43. 2 July 2002</ref>

Without additional programming, a CodeCharge-generated project is not a routed web site (where everything is routed through, for example, index.asp); rather, every page is accessible by reference to its own name or URL.

===OOP===

The generated application is [[Object-oriented programming|Object Oriented]].<ref name=macintyre2006/> Every structural element, like database connection, grid, navigation bar, the visible page itself etc are all objects.

===TemplatingTechnologies===

Here are listed technologies which used, when the application is ready and running.

Codecharge use html template pages to generate visible internet sites. Templates of web pages may be previewed before making it "live."<ref>Linda M’mayi.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL. August 11, 2005.</ref> There are xxxx.html files, accordingly xxxx.asp (xxxx.php etc) code files and for server side events a separate xxxx_event.asp (xxxx.php etc) files.

* '''OOP''' - The generated application is [[Object-oriented programming|Object Oriented]].<ref name=macintyre2006/> Every structural element, like database connection, grid, navigation bar, the visible page itself etc. are all objects.

The application uses the Microsoft .NET 2 Framework and will also install when the .NET 3.5 framework is detected on the host computer.

* '''Templating ''' - Codecharge useuses htmlHTML template pages to generate visible internet sites. Templates of web pages may be previewed before making it "live."<ref>Linda M’mayi.

* '''Customization''' - CodeCharge provides its users a standard way to set up custom code for handling events not fully addressed by the built-in features.<ref name=yank2002/>

==Reception==

In 2003, regarding the original version of CodeCharge Studio, Arbi Arzoumani of ''PHP Architect'' wrote:<ref name=arzoumani2003>Arbi Arzoumani "[http://www.yessoftware.com/download/files/pdf/January_2003_CodeCharge.pdf Reviewed For You: CodeCharge Studio 1.0]."

{{quote|"For its price tag this code generation application is well worth it. One great application that I can see this being used for is creating prototypes of web applications in very short periods of time. In other words, last minute proposals."}}

Kevin Yank of ''[[SitePoint]] Tech Times'' was impressed "by the many ways in which experienced developers could draw added power out of the software, instead of being limited by it, as is the case with most RAD tools for Web development."<ref name=yank2003>Kevin Yank "[http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 Software Reviews] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610234431/http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 |date=10 June 2011 }}."

In his review of ''CodeCharge Studio 2.0'', Troy Dreier wrote in ''Intranet Journal'', "CodeCharge Studio [allows] Web application developers [to] shave literally months off their development times."<ref>Troy Dreier "[http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200305/ij_05_19_03a.html CodeCharge Studio 2.0: Here's What's New]."
