Prerequisites: Tutorial 3 - Generating Code.
All you need to do to run your generated system is: 1) Create a project in
Visual Studio, 2) Add the generated code to the project, 3) Set a start up
object. 4) Compile and run.
Start Visual Studio and select New, Project from the File menu. For Project
Type, choose either Visual Basic Projects or Visual C# Projects as appropriate.
For Template, choose either Windows Application or ASP.NET Web
Application. Provide a name and file location.
Right mouse click on the project and select Add, Add Existing Item...
Navigate to the output directories where TCDesigner placed the generated
code. You will need to add code from three folders only, The Sql folder
has stored procedures and will NOT be added to your project. Repeat
the Add Existing Items steps three times to bring in your Base
classes, Data Access Classes, and either Web Pages or Windows Forms.
Make sure you select All Files, not just C# files as is shown below!
Now, set a start up object. For ASP.NET Applications, all you have
to do is right mouse click on the MainMenu page and choose "Set as Start Page".
For Windows Applications, follow the steps below. From the Project menu
select Properties.
Choose the Startup Object as shown below. You can now compile and run your
project.
