DevExpress XAF,XPO and EF Assistant-DevExpress Development Tool

Example

XPO streamlines CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations by mapping .NET objects directly to database tables, eliminating manual SQL scripting.

Scenario

In a scenario where an employee's department information needs updating, XPO provides automatic change tracking to ensure data consistency across different departments and company structures. The 'Department' class simplifies data management by establishing associations with other organizational structures like employees.

Example

XAF accelerates application development with its pre-built modules for reporting, security, auditing, and validation.

Scenario

A company needing a fully functional employee management system can utilize XAF's pre-built templates and modules to quickly establish a UI that includes data entry forms, role-based permissions, and reporting features.

Example

EF Assistant supports both XPO and Microsoft's Entity Framework, providing developers the flexibility to choose their preferred data access methodology.

Scenario

Developers working on a legacy system that uses Entity Framework can transition to DevExpress tools while continuing to use their existing EF models, minimizing disruptions during integration.

Example

The 'Group' class demonstrates XAF's ability to represent hierarchical data structures while supporting role-based management of business entities.

Scenario

In a project tracking system, a manager needs to manage sub-groups and projects under their department. The hierarchical model enables efficient data management and reporting.
