QuickStart template
The QuickStart.cst template creates a complete Visual Studio solution that uses PLINQO for LINQ to SQL. The solution has up to three projects:
- A data project with a Generator project file that generates the PLINQO data layer.
- A web project (optional): an ASP.NET Dynamic Data web application or website.
- A test project (optional).
Only the SourceDatabase property is required. For a walkthrough, see Getting started and the QuickStart feature tour.
