What are some of the limitations of IdeaBlade?

Question

I launched a project that needs a web interface and a desktop. One solution is IdeaBlade ( http://www.ideablade.com ). Can anyone who uses it describe their limitations and benefits? Can this be checked?

Thanks Alex

As vice president of IdeaBlade technology, I should not even comment on the limitations and advantages of DevForce in this space. Happy to answer specific questions though.

Can this be verified? I can answer this with the beginning of the answer.

1) DevForce POCO, . , Entity, .

2) , ctor, , (-) - .

var cust = new Customer {ID=..., Name =...}; // have fun

3) (, ), EntityManager ( , - ), EM, , , , .

4) EntityManager , .

order.Customer ; order.OrderDetails . EM, , , .

:

var mgr = new EntityManager(false); // create disconnected

var order = new Order {ID = ..., Quantity = 1, ...};

var customer = new Customer {ID = 42, Name = "ABC", };

mgr.AttachEntity(order);

mgr.AttachEntity(customer);

order.Customer = customer; // associate them

EM .

5) LINQ

var custs = mgr.Customers.Where(c => c.Name.StartsWith("A").ToList();

var orders = mgr.Orders.Where(o => o.Customer.Name.StartsWith("A")).ToList();
