I would like to know when you are going to have the next release ready? We are going to start a new project that will utilize MySQL so it will be great if Quick Objects has support for MySQL by then.
Also, I am concerned if you will be using ODBC or the Native Provider for supporting MySQL?

Hello Scott,
Next release almost ready for beta and it dont use ODBC for access to MySql. We use native provider for mysql.
We also working on finishing up our LINQ support. We already made sure that it easy to use both LINQ and regular API.
Sample code that you able to write:
| using (Products products = new Products()) |
| { |
| var res = from p in products where |
| ( p.product_name.Value.StartsWith("Mic") |
| || |
| p.product_name.Value.Contains("Apple") |
| && |
| ( |
| p.product_id.Value > 0 |
| ) |
| ) |
| select p; |
| |
| // here make more change to product if you wnat |
| // and when you use the followng all is already applied |
| if (SomeCondition) |
| { |
| product.SetVisibleFields(true, product.product_id, product.product_name, |
| product.ProductType.TypeName) |
| } |
| else |
| { |
| product.SetVisibleFields(true, product.product_id, product.product_name) |
| } |
| // as you see you can add join/criteria later or before LINQ query too |
| |
| |
| foreach (var prod in res) |
| { |
| if (prod.ProductType.TypeName.Visible) |
| { |
| // do something with TypeName |
| } |
| } |
| |
| } |
| |
I don't show code for join/order by here but it works both way and you use QO method call or LINQ syntax depending on what easier for you.
We hope release beta version first week of July and hope have final release ready by second week in July.
Thank you for being valued customer.
Regards,
Victor

That will be perfect timing for us. Although we don't need Compact Framework yet but might be looking into that in future. Do you guys have any plans to support CF?

Scott,
We are also going to support compact framework. At this point it looks like that we'll be releasing the CF functionality by August mid.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

So whats the update on next release? I am very excited and can't wait to get my hand on it! And I really hope that MySQL support is going to be just as smooth as it is for SQL or Oracle.
I had sent a suggestion in email while back about adding the ability to change the property names for columns (not just prefix replacement) and a seperate alias that would be used as a column header. I am just curious if this feature is included or not?

Hi Scott,
Next release is coming along very nicely, although we are running a little bit behind. I am listing what is complete and what is remaining to give you an idea how close we are to getting it out :)
Completed Items:
1. LINQ Provider
2. MySQL, Access, VistaDB, and SQL CE Support (Framework and Designer support).
3. Bug fixes and other enhancements (mostly customer requests) for the business logic framework.
4. C# Template update
Items we are currently working on:
1. Documentation update
2. Samples
3. VB.NET Template update
And to answer your concern, yes the MySQL support works smoothly just like SQL or Oracle, in fact all the newly supported databases work smoothly.
We are trying our best to get the new release available as soon as possible, but it looks like it will be another 4-5 days before we have everything ready.
We appreciate your patience and we want you to know we are equally excited about this release!
Thanks,
Ish
