[AccessD] LightSwitch (was: Automating web page entry (was: Scrollbutton))

Hi Shamil

I'll keep an eye on this. Last week we changed to MAPS for Developers and Friday I received DVDs and keys for VS 2010 but haven't had the time to install it yet.

Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your reply.
No, I didn't expect quick feedback on my questions.
I have just put them here to mark what I'd like to see available in
LightSwitch to consider it as a "serious" development tool.

I have read somewhere that the next Beta of LightSwitch should have MS
Access databases available as datasources? Via EF? That would be really
useful if they implement something like EF provider for MS Access
databases...

POCO article - yes, looks interesting but too complicated IMO. I didn't yet
check how POCO ORM is done in VS2010 EF but as far as I have got known it's
done there smoothly with most of infrastructure/plumbing ORM code "buried"
in EF and related classlibs - is it right? ...

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

I feel that what you are asking for here is beyond the scope of LightSwitch.
POCO and unit testing seem not to be incorporated or considered.
By the way, I located a good explanation on POCO (Plain Old CLR Object)
here:

Please read my post to JC about the data storage.
I can't answer your other questions - I'm still working my way through the
tutorials in my little spare-time ... so later maybe!
