• panther_SLO What makes IntelliSense work or not?

  If I add a new cpp-sourcefile to my project, that is just supposed to provide simplification funcs and macros for some API tasks, IntelliSense no longer displays function declarations when I begin typing a function call. I've #included the same headers Visual Studio did in my main source file, so I assume this about the IntelliSense DB beeing built just for those source files VS itself created. How can I get Intellisense to help me accross all m ...Show All

• dime Allow OR Mapping to be defined in a config file instead of attributes

  Classes generated by SQL Metal have attributes placed on them that define their mapping to the underlying database. Every time a changes occur in the mapping (e.g. A column name or size changes), the attributes on the class must be updated and thus must be recompiled. This prevents using those classes as DTO (Data Transfer Object) in an nTier app ;where the assembly containing those classes would be shared between the client and the server; as i ...Show All

  Currently I write my sql in Query Analyzer and once I am happy, I paste it into the code. With DLINQ, it is different enough that I cannot do this easily. If you can write a tool or special copy/paste action that converts SQL into DLINQ code, it would help a lot. Not only would it make me more productive, it would be useful in teaching people how to write DLINQ code. I know it probably cannot account for all SQL, but if you cover the basic ...Show All
