Does LLBLGenPro work with the express editions? I know that it says SQL Server Express is supported.

I'm currently using this configuration:

-Web Developer 2005 Express (for UI) -Visual C# 2005 Express (for business logic + DAL logic) -SQL Server 2005 Express (within Visual C#) (for database definitions)

on the x64 version of Windows Pro

and then I plan to migrate the database to SQL Server 2000 running on Windows Server 2003.

Thanks...

Yes, you can even use csc/vbc compilers and notepad if you'd like You can load the generated code into vs.net express without a problem and work with it.

Great! Thanks for the quick reply. I've been searching around for O/R mapper solutions for upcoming projects and by far LLBLGenPro has impressed me the most... support, documentation, functionality of course, and at an affordable price. I especially like the way the LLBLGenPro documentation explains both how to use LLBLGenPro and basic theory behind ORM and entity design.

I'll likely go with LLBLGenPro after I try out the demo.

re-opening an old thread here...

I've get some LLBLGen code working in Visual Web Dev Express OK, but there's none of the helpful intellisense or syntax highlighting I'm used in in VS.NET. Is it possible to make VWD show that stuff or will this become a nice test of my memory of LLBLGen synax?

Thanks

The intellisense is missing but the code compiles, right? So you are not missing references, are you?

Which version of LLBLGen Pro have you installed? What about trying to uninstall it and re-install it again?

Ah, there's hope for me yet!

Yes the code compiles perfectly but there is no intellisense.

I'm using LLBLGen Pro v2.5, and VWD 2005 Express v.8.0.50727.42.

I generated the code into the web site's App_Code folder.

I have set references to SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DQE.SqlServer.NET20 SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET20 System.Design System.Transactions System.Windows.Forms (I guessed at those by examining the .csproj file created by LLBLGen).

I did however install VWD Express after LLBLGen Pro. (Normally I use VS.NET 2005 Pro).

I will try reinstalling LLBLGen and report back.

Thankyou for responding.

Cheers Mike

I reinstalled LLBLGen Pro and intellisense is working fine in VWD Express now. Thanks for your help.
