Adding an IDO

An IDO (Intelligent Data Object) provides a set of properties and methods, and implements the IDO request interface (LoadCollection, UpdateCollection, and Invoke).

You can add IDOs to an IDO project.

To add an IDO to the current project:

1. From either the IDO Projects or IDOs form, click New IDO.
2. In the first page of the New IDO Wizard, name the IDO and identify the primary base table that stores values for the properties of this IDO.
3. Click Next.
4. In the second page of the wizard, create bound properties for this IDO that are based on columns in the primary base table in the application database.

 By default, all of the columns in the primary base table are included as properties in the IDO.

• To remove a column and omit it as a property, clear the Inc check box for that column.
• To change a single property name, specify the new name in the Property Name field.
• To make changes to all property names at one time, click Massage Property Names, which opens the Massage Options form.
5. Click Finish.

WinStudio displays the new IDO, automatically checked out to you.
