Visual Studio Integration
The Mimer Data Provider is tightly intergrated with Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003. The following areas are covered:
-
The documentation is included as part of the documentation set that shows up in
Visual Studio.
-
Dynamic help is supported. I.e. if the cursor is on a Mimer-object in the
source code, the dynamic help window shows links to the documentation.
-
The classes MimerDataAdapter, MimerConnection, MimerCommand,
and MimerCommandBuilder objects can be used on forms. How to do this is
described in Visual Studio Toolbox customization.
When a MimerDataAdapter
is dropped on a form, accompanying MimerCommand objects are automatically
created.
-
Customized display of properties when a Mimer-object is present in
the component tray for a form.
-
For some property settings customized dialogs have been developed. These are
expected to be further developed in coming versions.
-
The Mimer Data Provider is written entirely in C#. I.e. the code is safe (this,
of course, is good not only in the Visual Studio environment!).
