The ORM.NET installation includes several sample applications as a way to demonstrate how to work with the generated data object model. You can use these applications to learn how to use, customize and become productive using ORM.NET on your own projects. All of the included applications are available in either C# or VB.NET.
We recommend the following steps in order to become productive using ORM.NET.
If you have not already done so, install the sample applications and databases. See the Section Setup Sample Applications and Databases.
Follow through the steps in the section Use ORM.NET in Six Simple Steps under the Quick Start section. This will quickly take you through the process of using ORM.NET to connect to a database (OleroTraining ), view the object model properties, generate and then use the data object model.
Review the Code Examples section. This section uses the OleroTraining sample application to walk through how to retrieve and display data as well as performing inserts updates and deletes using ORM.NET. Most of these examples are also in the OleroTraining sample application.
