LinqConnect is a fast and easy to use ORM solution, developed closely to the Microsoft LINQ to SQL technology, and having its own powerful model designer tool - Entity Developer.

This section helps you to get started with LinqConnect. It describes creating a simple console application, using LinqConnect. We will create a LinqConnect model with two entities with an association between them, corresponding to the Company and Order tables from the sample CRM_DEMO database, which is supplied with our Demos. At first, you will learn how to create code for the LinqConnect model in two ways: with Entity Developer and manually. Then we will show how to use LinqConnect for getting data and creating and modifying entities. And there are some walkthroughs on creating specific application kinds with LinqConnect.

Code examples in this help are created for Oracle database. Code for other database servers will differ just in database-specific types and case of the entity and column names.
