Hi Everyone

Well, I've been told how great LLBL is and how it will save me hours of time with my DAL - but having designed a database, and then running the script generation - I haven't a clue what to do with the code I've been given

I've had a look at the demos and they've helped a bit - but I still don't know how to (i.e.) programatically create a text box, populate it with a value from my database, and then update that value when I click the command button.

Are there any really good step-by-step idiot guides out there for things like this?

Many thanks

Darren

Are you using visual studio? Is this a winforms or asp.net app? It is a little different in each scenario. Perhaps if you were a bit more specific on what you would like to accomplish it would help a bit. As far as step-by-step, I could probably show you in about three steps how to do binding to an LLBLGen EntityCollection in both scenarios.

Hi Seth

I am looking to create a CMS System with ASP.NET (C#) in VS 2005.

Now I don't know if this was a mistake, but I've created my database first and put all my relationships in - but I haven't populated it with data (yet).

One of the things I specifically would like to do (as I am writing a custom ASP.net system) is be able to look around a data reader and then based on that write out a number of different controls populated with values from (maybe) a different table.

I am only mentioning that as to be honest it is the most complex thing I will be doing - the rest is basic data entry and retrieveal.

Any help will be greatly appreciated Seth, thanks for the offer of help - hopefully in a couple of hours I'll also be saying how great LLBLGEn is too

Best regards

Darren

You could start by checking the manual . In there you'll find a 'How do I?' section in the 'Best practises' which contains a lot of examples.

Also, we provide this forum's sourcecode as a big asp.net example. Retrieve it here: http://www.llblgen.com/hnd
