What Development Environment do I Need?
AgileStudio is a tightly integrated add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 on
developer machines running Windows 2000 or WinXP Professional and with
local or remote access to SQL Server 2000 Developer or Enterprise Editions.
What Deployment Environment do I Need?
Windows Application Deployment: The client machine on which the
Windows Forms application is deployed only requires an OS such as Windows 2000
or Windows XP. These client machines must be networked to a server running
SQL Server with an appropriate OS (eg Windows Server 2000). The
DataStoreManager can also be installed on this machine.
Web Application Deployment: The SQL Server database,
DataStoreManager and IIS (ASP.NET) tiers can be installed on the same or
separate networked servers with a suitable OS for example Windows Server
2000. There is obviously no deployment required on the 4th tier, the
browser host.
What type of Applications can AgileStudio Produce?
AgileStudio can assist you in the production of Rich Client Windows Forms
Applications and ASP.NET Web Applications.
Do I have to use a special Visual Studio project?
No, AgileStudio uses standard Windows Forms projects and does not require a new
project type.
How Does AgileStudio Interoperate with regular ADO.NET Controls and Code?
AgileStudio complements Visual Studio.NET. You can write your own controls,
stored procedures, create tables etc and modify your application logic as you
please with your own code, provided you do not manually alter the original SQL
tables and stored procedures produced directly by AgileStudio. A mixture of
AgileStudio Object Binding and Conventional dataset binding can be utilized on
the same form or even within the same control.
Are standard DataSets used?
AgileStudio has design time properties to facilitate the rapid production of
Data Management Applications. AgileStudio object bindings are logic design time
only. At runtime the application relies on standard DataSet bindings only.
