Generating Code for a Windows Application

Before generating code for Windows Application, you need to install CAB (available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/cab.asp). Check for the following required files in your installation directory:

1. Select Tools > Check Model to verify if there are errors or warnings in the model. If there are errors, fix them before continuing with code generation.
2. Select Tools > General Options, and click the Variables node.
3. Add a variable CAB_PATH with the value of your installation directory
4. Select Language > Generate C# 2.0 Code or Generate Visual Basic 2005 Code to open the Generation dialog box.
5. Specify a target directory, and then click OK to begin generation.

   The following files will be generated:

   • Domain files (persistent classes, mapping files)

   • DAL files (database connection file and data access files)

   • A solution file and project files

   • A login dialog

   • Forms for persistent classes

   • Controller files
