Features

• New Object-Relational Mapping Tool (Beta) - The VCL ExpressEntityMapping Framework is an object-relational mapping (ORM) tool that simplifies data access and management by converting relational data into objects, properties, and collections for use in code. With this tool, you can query data and implement business logic using entity models and an object-oriented approach instead of handling the low-level data access and constructing/executing SQL statements manually.
  • Support for the Code-First, Database-First, and Model-First approaches to application development.
  • A standalone application that helps you design entity models in a visual fashion, and generate classes based on them.
  • Transparent and controllable object-relational mapping via built-in attributes or registration functions.

This mode is a hybrid of the classic mode and the touch-friendly scrollbar mode introduced in v17.2. In the new mode, the scrollbar thumb appears when an end-user hovers the mouse pointer over a control or scrolls through its content. Hovering the mouse pointer over the scrollbar thumb or its movement path transforms the thumb to a traditional scrollbar. Moving the mouse pointer away from the scrollbar reduces it back to the thumb. The thumb disappears if the mouse pointer is stationary or the control is not scrolled for some time. You can enable the new scrollbar mode by switching the corresponding option in a skin (or look&feel) controller.
