Generate Database Wizard (Entity Data Model Tools) The Create Database Wizard generates data definition language (DDL) for creating a database from an existing conceptual model. The wizard allows you to do conceptual modeling first then create a database that supports the model. The Create Database Wizard requires the following to run successfully: A valid conceptual model. Permission to add files to the current Visual Studio project.
Upon completion, the wizard adds an .sql file to the project. This file contains DDL for creating the database. Upon completion, the Create Database Wizard does the following: Generates the store schema definition language (SSDL) and mapping specification language (MSL) that correspond to the provided CSDL. It is important to note that the Generate Database Wizard does not execute the generated DDL. Entity Designer Database Generation Power Pack - ADO.NET team blog.

SharePoint. Patterns & practices - Unity. Introduction to Unity. By using dependency injection frameworks and inversion of control mechanisms, developers can generate and assemble instances of custom classes and objects that can contain dependent object instances and settings. The Unity Application Block supports this functionality, allowing developers to use techniques such as container-configured injection, constructor injection, property injection, and method call injection to generate and assemble instances of objects complete with all dependent objects and settings. The Unity Application Block exposes two methods for registering types and mappings with the container: RegisterType.
This method registers a type with the container. At the appropriate time, the container will build an instance of the type you specify. This could be in response to dependency injection initiated through class attributes or when you call the Resolve method. Write Less Code and Play More Golf—Getting to Know Enterprise Library 4.0. Patterns & practices Developer Center Alex Homer, Microsoft Corporation August 2008 This article provides an overview of Microsoft Enterprise Library. It discusses why you should consider using this useful set of routines and components in your applications, what Enterprise Library actually is, and how you can get started using it. Contents Why Build From Scratch? For more information about Enterprise Library, see the Enterprise Library Web site on CodePlex.
Imagine for a moment that you have decided to build your own sports car. Of course, so far it is just a body shell; you now need to source the running gear, interior fittings, electrical equipment, and the rest of the myriad bits of kit that make up a modern motor car. So why is it that many software developers refuse to follow this obvious course of action and, instead, insist on building every component and service they need from scratch? One of the key products in the patterns & practices range is the Enterprise Library. Guidance Automation Extensions 2010 and Guidance Automation Toolkit 2010. Patterns & practices Developer Center May 2010 The Guidance Automation Extensions (GAX) 2010 and the Guidance Automation Toolkit (GAT) 2010 are components of Guidance Automation that help build and run Guidance Packages inside Visual Studio 2010.
GAT 2010 includes a new recipe that converts Guidance Packages created for Visual Studio 2008 into Guidance Packages that work with Visual Studio 2010. GAX 2010 and GAT 2010 are VSIX files deployed as Visual Studio 2010 extensions and can work side by side with previous GAX and GAT releases for Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2005. However, you cannot install a Guidance Package written for Visual 2008 or Visual Studio 2005 on Visual Studio 2010. Additionally, you cannot install GAX 2010 or GAT 2010 on Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2005. Both GAX 2010 and GAT 2010 require the following: In addition, GAT 2010 requires the following Guidance Automation Extensions (GAX) 2010 Visual Studio 2010 Software Development Kit (SDK)
Patterns & practices. Each patterns & practices offering contains a combination of written documentation and re-usable source code. Many also include a reference implementation. As the guidance is being developed it is reviewed and approved by internal Microsoft product teams and by external customers and partners. This produces a solid starting point for your application and a set of proven practices that you can follow with confidence. Many patterns & practices offerings illustrate how to incorporate multiple Microsoft products and technologies into an overall solution. By using patterns & practices offerings, you can accelerate the design and development of your custom applications, reduce project technical risk, and position yourself to take advantage of future Microsoft technologies. patterns & practices offerings are organized in the MSDN Library into the following categories: In addition, a collection of Retired Content is available.

Doug Purdy, Microsoft Corporation Jeffrey Richter, Wintellect January 2002 Summary: This article discusses the use of design patterns in the Microsoft .NET Framework. An extremely powerful tool for developers or architects in development projects, design patterns ensure that common problems are addressed via well-known and accepted solutions, and that correct code is developed more rapidly, reducing the chance that a mistake will occur in design or implementation. (21 printed pages) Contents IntroductionWhy Design Patterns?. Introduction During the course of a given development project, it is not uncommon to use the concept of design patterns to address certain problems relating to application design and architecture.
The origin of software design patterns is attributed to the work of Christopher Alexander. In 1995, the software industry was first widely introduced to the design patterns as they directly related to building applications. Why Design Patterns? .NET Framework Patterns Figure 1. Enterprise Library. Patterns & practices Developer Center April 2013 The Microsoft Enterprise Library is a collection of reusable software components (application blocks) designed to assist software developers with common enterprise development cross-cutting concerns (such as logging, validation, data access, exception handling, and many others).
Application blocks are a type of guidance; they are provided as source code, test cases, and documentation that can be used "as is," extended, or modified by developers to use on complex, enterprise-level line-of-business development projects. The design of application blocks encapsulates the Microsoft recommended and proven practices for .NET application development. These good practices are demonstrated in the overall design of the Enterprise Library, as well in the context-specific guidelines in the design of individual application blocks and QuickStarts. The goals of Enterprise Library are the following: Consistency. Patterns & practices – Enterprise Library. Patterns & practices - GAX Extensions Library. Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management.
By using the suite of client-server tools in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013, you can apply proven practices to manage your application's lifecycle. You can manage source code across your team; develop, build, and test your application; plan projects, track work, and report progress. TFS provides version control, a build system, and Agile planning tools and metrics for managing software development projects. Once you’ve got your project up and running, you can use these additional tools to support the design, code quality, and deployment of your applications. Developers, architects, and testers typically connect to TFS through Visual Studio. They can also connect using a web browser to Team Web Access (TWA), Microsoft Test Manager, and Visual Studio Online.
The following table shows which TFS tools are available, based on the Visual Studio edition. Notes: Additional Team Foundation clients support program managers and other stakeholders to connect to TFS. A: Yes. WPF Hands-On Lab: Get Started with the Prism Library.

Background: Composite Applications. Developer's Guide to Microsoft Prism. Patterns & practices Developer Center February 2012 Prism provides guidance designed to help you more easily design and build rich, flexible, and easily maintained Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications, Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and Windows Phone 7 applications.
Using design patterns that embody important architectural design principles, such as separation of concerns and loose coupling, Prism helps you to design and build applications using loosely coupled components that can evolve independently but which can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the overall application. These types of applications are known as composite applications. Prism is intended for software developers building WPF or Silverlight applications that typically feature multiple screens, rich user interaction and data visualization, and that embody significant presentation and business logic. Before you can use the Prism Library, the following must be installed: Chapter 28: Designing SharePoint LOB Applications. MSDN Magazine. Unity Application Block.
