Hi Kevin,

>We haven't officially announced anything yet (but I guess this is as good a time as any), one of the modeling approaches we are supporting is "the other ORM" Object Role Modeling. At VSLive San Francisco at the end of the month we'll be demonstrating the use of Visio ORM diagrams to design business entities as well as business rules. From these diagrams you can automatically generate the back end database, as well as the ORM XML mapping file including business rules defined in XML. Changing a rule in the Visio ORM diagram allows you to automatically update the constraints in the database as well as the business rules. We'll post more information as time goes by, but it's a VERY nice feature.

Sounds interesting. I will keep an eye out for more info in the future.

>We do eventually plan to generate Windows Forms and Web Forms, but that won't be in the next version. We're concentrating on the ORM functionality now and will add the UI generation later.

Native support for Infragistics would be nice in the future. Just my 2 cents worth.

Regards,

Aaron
