Upgrade instructions

Upgrade instructions. From Version 3.x to 5.x for .NET Framework 4.x projects

Upgrade instructions: EasyQuery.NET 5.3 + EasyQuery.JS 6.0

If you use EasyQuery.JS via NPM packages (for example, in your Angular or React project) you need to do the following changes: Since JQuery is not used anyore, you can remove @easyquery/ui-jquery package from your project. All functionality from this package was moved either to @easyquery/core or @easyquery/enterprise packages. Add @easyquery/enterprise package if you need full set of features as in previous version (5.1.x) of EasyQuery. Obviously, set the version number for all EasyQuery packages to 6.0.0 (or higher). Get the license key for EasyQuery Enterprise.

Data Model

In short (and by its name), data model - is a model (representation) of some data stored in your database. It solves two major problems: Presents the data to the end user in a more friendly and familiar way. Contains some meta information that helps EasyQuery components to build query statements in SQL or other query languages. Any data model contains the following main sections:

Upgrade instructions: Version 7.0

You just need to update the version of all EasyQuery packages (except Korzh.EasyQuery.MsSqlGate - see the details below) to 7.0.x (whatever the latest version is there at the time of your reading). For example: should be changed to: As for Korzh.EasyQuery.MsSqlGate package, it was renamed to Korzh.EasyQuery.SqlServerGate (to prevent any confusion with Korzh.EasyQuery.MySqlGate ). Here are examples: Before EasyQuery 7.0: EasyQuery 7.0+ Both functions accepts a delegate with EasyQueryOptions parameter, so no changes here. Here are some examples: In the most cases, your client-side code and markup will not need a lot of changes with version 7.0 of EasyQuery.JS. Here are the thins that require your attention: If the license key for EasyQuery.JS is hardcoded in the page's script as a parameter of useEnterprise(...) call (like view.getContext().useEnterprise('YourEasyQueryJsKeyGoesHere') ) you will need to get a new one for version 7.0 and replace it there.

Upgrading from version 4.x to 5.x

Here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade your current ASP.NET Core project that uses version 4.x of EasyQuery to version 5.0

Upgrading to 5.x: WinForms and WPF projects

This tutorial describes how to modify your old Windows Forms or WPF project with EasyQuery 3.x to upgrade to EasyQuery version 5.2.0 (or higher). Please note. Version 5.2.0 of EasyQuery works only on .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher. So, if your project targets a lower version of .NET Framework - you will need to update Target Framework for your project first (right-click on the project in Solution

Upgrading to 5.x: ASP.NET (MVC and WebForms) projects

This tutorial describes how to upgrde your old ASP.NET MVC project with EasyQuery 3.x to EasyQuery version 5.2.0 (or higher). 1.2 Use NuGet Package Manager to install the following packages: Korzh.EasyQuery.AspNet4 Korzh.EasyQuery.EntityFramewok6 - if you are using Entity Framework 6.x Korzh.EasyQuery.DataExport - if you will need the data exporting functions Korzh.EasyQuery.MsSqlGate (or .MySqlGate or .OdbcGate depending on your DB) - if you need to load your model directly from DB connection. Finally, we need to make some modifications on our pages where we use EasyQuery scripts. Version 5.2.0 and higher of EasyQuery scripts will not need JQuery anymore, so you will be able to throw them away if they are not used in your own pages. Here is an example for "advanced search" view: To update your Web Forms page your will need to do the following 3 steps: Add EasyQuery scripts and styles on your page.

Aggregate data

From this article you will see how to aggregate (count, sum, etc.) data in your queries.

Working with several data models

All EasyQuery demos works with one data model (and one database which corresponds to that model). Here we are going to describe how to add a selector that switches between two data models on your view/page and then how to setup a custom "model loader" to handle GetModel requests propertly. To make it possible to switch between these two models we need some selector element on our page. The only problem here - is to switch the database connection accordingly the the switches between the models. Now when the user selects an item in our model selector element on the client-side - our server-side code automatically loads the selected model and connects to a proper database (when necessary)..

Possible ways of data model creation and loading

EasyQuery components need a [data model](/$aid/03bc06b0-83ec-4040-97ef-a50ca004177f) (a user-friendly representation of your DB) for their work. There are several different ways to create the model and load it on your project's startup. This article will describe all of them in detail.

It's easier to fill your model right in the code directly from your database, using meta-information

Creating data model dynamically with code

-Data Model- object is an essential part of EasyQuery framework. However, sometimes you need to add some entities, entity attributes or operators to the existing model or to fill it from scratch using DB metadata information got from another source. In these cases, you can use EasyQuery API to build the model dynamically. Finally, we add entities and entity attributes. Here is an example of creatin a small data model: two tables (Customers and Orders) with one link between them, 2 entities (Customer and Order correpondingly) and a few attributes in each entity.
