ADO.NET vNext Entity Data Model Designer Prototype CTP
September 28, 2006
From ADO.NET’s Blog:
“To aid brainstorming and to better understand typical developer scenarios, the ADO.NET team created an internal prototype of a designer to let developers model the ADO.NET vNext “Conceptual” layer.
The designer in this CTP is an early prototype and only supports designing the “Conceptual” layer. The designer can also generate an Entity Data Model with 1:1 mappings from an existing database that you can use right away in your application while also graphically visualizing the “Conceptual” layer”

HoL/How to: Cooperator Framework (Parte 1)
September 16, 2006
Aprovechando que ya esta disponible la preview 4 de Cooperator Framework (ver aqui), y viendo que dia a dia la gente que lo esta empezando a usar va aumentando, me hice de tiempo para empezar a hacer una aplicacion de ejemplo tratando de usar las cosas mas importantes de Cooperator.
La aplicacion es sencilla y la verdad es que es un proyecto propio, asi que, me propuse hacerlo con Cooperator.
Bien antes que nada voy a poner una imagen del modelo para que sepan de que voy a estar hablando en los siguientes posts.
Como pueden ver la aplicacion intenta modelar algo asi como una biblioteca casera.
En esta primera entrega les voy a dejar un backup de la base, con el archivo .coop. para poder abrir el Modeler con este proyecto.
En la proxima entrega, estare dejando una primera aproximacion a la app en funcionamiento.
Si nunca han usado Cooperator Modeler (pueden descargarlo desde aqui), en este link pueden encontrar un buen tutorial.
