Newby Help

I'm in the process of evaluating (quickly) codegen/ORMs vs. frameworks. I just downloaded and installed the trial version. Located the resulting installation in "C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame". Underneath this - among other things - are folders 'VB.NET Samples' & 'VB.NET Tutorials'. Well, I must be getting blind in my old-age ;) but I can't find any sort of doc or chm or something that is a walkthrough. I can open and run the samples and tutorials, but the Help menuitem only provides an About box. Even the apps from the VS main menu 'StrataFrame' at most provide an About box.

So what can I do to start trying your product?

I would surely like to build a solution that points either to your data or Northwind or AdventureWorks that demonstrates Customers - Orders - LineItems in my own test approach: List of all customers (searchable & filterable) with heirarchical grid of Orders with "child" Items.

TIA - TonyK

Hey Tony,

Maybe your installation went wrong. You should have a help file "Application Framework Help", "Database Deployment Toolkit Help" installed. They should also have installed as a shortcut on your desktop.
