Step 1: Create Business object classes and corresponding mapping file – It's recommended that you use DaoliteMappingTool to create all of your Business object classes and corresponding mapping files. It's easy and fast. The following is step-by-step guide on how to create Business object classes and corresponding mapping files using DaoliteMappingTool.

a.Use Daolitemappingtool to connect to your database


Set primary key and database relation, select saving path, and then click on "Run" button to create Business object classes and mapping files.


These are Business object classes and mapping files created by Daolitemappingtool.

Step 2: Add the Business object classes and mapping files created in Step 1 to your project.

Step 3:Add the mapping files(in a mappings folder) created by Daolitemappingtool as resources to your project.

Step 5: Add Daolite.dll as Reference to your project.

Step 5: Set datasoure value to Configer of Business layer in the main Function of Program.cs, and load mapping files to the project.

For instance:
static void Main()
{
    //Datasource value
    NorthwindConfiger.DataSource = "192.168.1.2";
    NorthwindConfiger.Database = "Northwind";
    NorthwindConfiger.UserId = "sa";
    NorthwindConfiger.Password = "******";
    //loading mapping files
    NorthwindConfiger.GetConfiger().AddResourseMappings("Northwind");

    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new Form1());
}

Done. Now you can experience the superiority of Daolite during programming.

Step 1:Follow the operations in Windows Application Step 1.

Step 2:Create a new ClassLibrary project for your solution, and then add the business object classes (excluding mapping files) to the project.

Step 3: Add mapping files(in a mappings folder) created by Daolitemappingtool to the App_data folder of your website project.

Step 4: Add Daolite.dll as Reference to both your website project and the ClassLibrary project you newly created.

Step 5: Add your newly created ClassLibrary project as reference to your website Bin folder.

Step 6: Set datasoure value to Configer of business objects in the Application_Start Function of Global.asax within your website project, and load mapping files to the project.

For instance:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Code that runs on application startup
    Northwind.NorthwindConfiger.DataSource = "192.168.1.2";
    Northwind.NorthwindConfiger.Database = "Northwind";
    Northwind.NorthwindConfiger.UserId = "sa";
    Northwind.NorthwindConfiger.Password = "******";
    Northwind.NorthwindConfiger.GetConfiger()
        .AddMappings("Northwind", Server.MapPath("~/app_data/Northwind_mappings/"));
}

Done.Now you can experience the superiority of Daolite in the course of building your website.
