• Create new project in Visual Studio. The project type needs to be a .Net Windows Desktop App application or library
• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.DataStore

• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.DataStore.Util

  This provides extensions that provide extensions to make it easier to use DataStore from .Net

• Using the Designer create a new DataStore.

If you wish to use Object Model Generation do the following:

• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.DataStore.ObjectModel
• Ensure the DataStore has a name.

• Create a text template and replace any existing code with this:

  <#@ template debug="true" hostspecific="true" language="C#" #>
  <#@ output extension=".cs" #>
  <#@ DataStoreCodeGenerator Processor="Semata.CodeGeneratorDirectiveProcessor" #>
  <# GenerateObjectModel(<DataStore file>, <namespace>); #>

  where:

  • <DataStore file> is the path of the DataStore relative to the project folder. If it is in the folder, this can just be its name.
  • <namespace> is the namespace the generated code will be placed in.

If you also wish to generate views for the object model do the following:

• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.Lazy
• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.EditableData
• Add reference -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> Semata.DataStore.ObjectModel.Views

• Create a text template and replace any existing code with this:

  <#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="true" language="C#" #>
  <#@ output extension=".cs" #>
  <#@ DataStoreCodeGenerator Processor="Semata.CodeGeneratorDirectiveProcessor" #>
  <# GenerateObjectModelViews(<DataStore file>, <object model namespace>, <namespace>); #>

  where:

  • <DataStore file> is the path of the DataStore relative to the project folder. If it is in the folder, this can just be its name.
  • <object model namespace> is the namespace that was used for object model generation.
  • <namespace> is the namespace the generated code will be placed in.
