We made some instruction videos to show just how easily you can get started with ECO for Visual Studio.
In these videos Hans Karlsen (CapableObjects) starts from scratch and creates a simple model for the domain of project planning.
- A simple model is created, then extended in a couple of steps showing the ECO feature of model evolution and automatic db-changescript creation.
- The ECO Context Agent that helps you to set up databind components is shown.
- The benefits of a domain model, with application wide model-view is shown.
- A third-party standard .net visual component, Gantt in GTP.NET from plexityHide.com, is integrated for visualization and editing of the data defined by the model.
- Hierarcical databinding in a single component, not just master-detail, is shown.
- Derived attributes are shown in a context where you directly can see the benefit of using them.
No cuts are made in the first two videos so what you see is what you get - a live project planning Gantt chart with the data stored in a database (SQLExpress) is produced in 1 hour.
Add up the resources needed (in euros) to produce your very own ERP solution that fits your organisation like a glove:
- ECO for Visual Studio: aprox 600 euro
- GTP.NET from plexityHide: aprox 600 euro
- Your own time and domain knowledge: <add this yourself>
