More control on xml with version 0.3.2.

The 0.3.2 version of ADCG provide the control to choose the xml binding of a simple type, that can be now forced as xml element instead of an xml attribute.
ADCG is now compiled with Visual Studio 2005 and now requires .NET 2.0 to run. Anyhow the code genereted is compatible with both .NET 1.1 and 2.0.

Test Page available

Now you can run and test ADCG features directly from the web.
The C# class files will be downloaded into a .zip file.

The next development

These are some point of interest for the next work on the project:


  • Implementation of EqualTo() function for object comparing.

  • Allow the possibility to define indexes (unique or non-unique) on some properties, with automatic implementation of HashTables and Find() functions on the collections.

  • ADO.NET and SQL data binding.

  • A Graphical User Interface as an alternative to define the structure using an Xml format.

  • Custom binary serialization.

  • Allow cross referencing inside the data structure.

Do not hesitate to give me a feedback if you are particularly interested in one or more of the features listed above, or if you want to suggest other useful characteristics that you want to see in ADCG.
