Business Model Design 业务模型设计

Note

This section is split into two parts, which describe the use of two different Object-relational mapping (ORM)

请注意
本节分为两个部分，它们描述了两个不同对象关系映射(ORM)的使用

tools: Entity Framework (EF) and eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO)

工具:EF和XPO

. You will start by choosing the one ORM you will use in your project and the subsequent steps will reflect your choice.

In this section, you will learn how to design a business model (database) when building business applications via the eXpressApp Framework. You will create business classes that will be mapped to database tables. You will also learn how to set relationships between classes, implement dependent properties, validate property values, and so on.

您将首先选择一个您将在项目中使用的ORM，随后的步骤将反映您的选择。
在本节中，您将了解如何在通过eXpressApp框架构建业务应用程序时设计业务模型(数据库)。您将创建映射到数据库表的业务类。您还将学习如何设置类之间的关系、实现从属属性、验证属性值等。

To design a business model, the following techniques will be used.

• Use the Business Class Library

  The Business Class Library provides the most commonly used business classes, such as Person, Event, Task, etc. You can use a class from this library as is, or inherit from it to extend it.

• From Scratch

  If you use XPO and the Business Class Library does not provide the appropriate business class, inherit from one of the Base Persistent Classes. When using EF, you can create business classes from scratch without inheritance, as demonstrated in the Code First to a New Database tutorial.

要设计业务模型，将使用以下技术。

• 使用业务类库

业务类库提供最常用的业务类，如Person、事件、任务等。您可以直接使用这个库中的类，也可以继承它来扩展它。

• 从头开始

如果您使用XPO，而业务类库没有提供适当的业务类，则从基本的持久类之一继承。在使用EF时，您可以从头开始创建业务类，而不需要继承，如代码中所示，首先创建一个新的数据库教程。

Tip

If you need to build an application based on an existing database, refer to the How to: Generate XPO Business Classes for Existing Data Tables or Use Entity Framework with an Existing Database topic.

After completing the tutorial, you will have WinForms and ASP.NET applications.

提示
如果需要基于现有数据库构建应用程序，请参阅如何:为现有数据表生成XPO业务类，或使用现有数据库主题的实体框架。
完成本教程后，您将拥有WinForms和ASP。网络应用程序。

The ASP.NET application will provide almost the same functionality, but via a slightly different set of visual elements.

ASP。NET应用程序将提供几乎相同的功能，但通过一组稍微不同的可视化元素。
