Prerequisites: Tutorial 1 - Getting Started.
You've completed tutorial 1 and are now ready to add items from you database.
Using the Project Menu, select Import Data Schema Item:
Since TCDesigner has not yet been told where to look for your database, you will
be prompted for connection information. Just provide the information in
this dialog so that a connection can be established:
TCDesigner shows what database items are available to work with base on the
connection information you provided. By default, only tables are show. You will
be able to see, and work with, views as well by checking the Views checkbox.
Don't do that right now though!
To get started adding schema items to your project, click the >>
button to select all Schema Items in the Import Schema Wizard and
click Next >>:
Use the checkboxes to select which types of objects you want to
create. Normally you want DB Base, DB Access, and either WinForms or WebForms.
Note that you can also specify whether you want to control how your classes are
named. Click Next>> to continue.
If everything looks OK in the review, go ahead and click the Done button
. Time to move on to Tutorial 3 -
Generating Code!
