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, a wizard is automatically invoked which helps to configure the MimerDataAdapter. The wizard is also available by right-clicking on the MimerDataAdapter in the component tray.
By right-clicking on the MimerDataAdapter it is also possible to generate a typed data set or to preview the data selected by the adapter.
The TableMappings property on the MimerDataAdapter has a special dialog used to edit the mapping of names.
The ConnectionString property of the MimerConnection object has a dialog which allows the connection string to be built and tested by filling in values in a property grid.
Customized display of properties when a Mimer-object is present in the component tray for a form.
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!).
