AgileStudio v2.2 Review

AgileStudio provides a Visual Studio .NET add-in that allows you to set up connections to your database, define the objects you want to work with, and then creates typed datasets and Windows Forms controls based on your choices. AgileStudio requires using the .NET InstallUtil utility to install the AgilePages DataStore Manager Windows Service, which handles the interaction between the Visual Studio .NET add-in and your database, either SQL Server or XML files. Then, using the Visual Studio .NET add-in, you can define new objects and their members, and map these to your data store. Once your data store is configured, AgileStudio adds some .NET components (AgilePagesDataSetManager and AgilePagesConnection) to your form to help manage the interaction with the database, and automatically generates the code required to persist changes made with the application. Support for AgileStudio is provided through an online Knowledge Base at the vendor's Web site or through e-mail.
