Parse DataWindows
(
) will parse the DataWindow objects only. You
can use this tool to quickly parse the selected DataWindow objects,
especially, the failed DataWindows. You should not export the models
or generate & build project, until the selected DataWindows all
have a successful parsing result.
Export Models
(
) will parse DataWindows and generate C#
solution, project, and models. You can use this tool to convert the
selected DataWindow objects to C# models, refresh the existing models
in the project, or add new models to the project.
Generate & Build Project
(
) will parse the selected DataWindow objects,
generate the C# solution, project, models, services, and controllers,
and build the C# project.
To parse DataWindows:
If some DataWindows failed to parse, you can make changes to these DataWindows and then parse them again to quickly find out if that corrects the error.
-
Close any anti-virus tool on the development machine.
-
Select the DataWindow objects in the project painter > Converter page that you want to parse (by default all DataWindow objects are selected).
-
Select a database connection from the Database profile list on the Converter page.
-
Click the Parse DataWindows button in the toolbar.
To export models:
If you have changed some DataWindows, or added new DataWindows, you can export and update/add models to the existing project.
-
Close any anti-virus tool on the development machine.
-
Select the DataWindow objects in the project painter > Converter page that you want to generate models (by default all DataWindow objects are selected).
-
Select a database connection from the Database profile list on the Converter page.
-
Click the Export Models button in the toolbar.
A C# solution is generated under the specified location (by default C:\Users\[username]\[projectname]). The C# solution will contain a C# project and models.
To generate and build a .NET DataStore project:
If you want to not only parse DataWindows and export models, but also generate a complete C# project (including the services and controllers), you should do the following:
-
Close any anti-virus tool on the development machine.
-
Select the DataWindow objects in the project painter > Converter page that you want to generate models, services and controllers (by default all DataWindow objects are selected).
-
Select a database connection from the Database profile list on the Converter page.
-
Click the Generate & Build Project button in the toolbar, or right-click the .NET DataStore project in the System Tree and then select Generate & Build Project.
A C# solution is generated under the specified location (by default C:\Users\[username]\[projectname]). The C# solution will contain a C# project, models, services, and controllers.
