ComponentOne Studio for Entity Framework in WPF

ComponentOne Studio for Entity Framework (SEF) includes a C1DataSource control that allows you to specify data sources with rich features in an RAD fashion, mostly by setting properties on a designer surface, with little manual coding. It also includes classes that provide full support of the same features and more: in code, when you need to do it dynamically, at run time, or when finer control over them is required. We’ll start with the C1DataSource control, and later we will consider the run-time code features as well.

We’ll begin our exploration of the C1DataSource component by looking at how we can control it via the designer surface. From there, we’ll explore how it can be controlled dynamically at run time. Not all features available at run time will be represented here. You can consult the Programming Guide of this documentation and the Reference for more runtime features, including client-side transaction support and more.
