Speedy.Data: Getting Started

1. Download the DLLs and the sample application

Download a free trial , or purchase Speedy.Data for $129.99.

2. Add a reference to the Speedy.Data and Speedy.Core DLLs in your application

3. Setup your web.config or app.config

The web.config or app.config file must specify the database connection string in the connectionStrings section of the Configuration section. You should also set up an Environment setting - this allows you to easily change the connectionString to use for different environments (Development, QA, Production, Disconnected).

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="App.Disconnected" connectionString="data source=(local);initial catalog=SpeedyDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;" />
    <add name="App.Development" connectionString="data source=(local);initial catalog=SpeedyDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <appSettings>
    <!-- Possible Values: Development, Disconnected, QA, Production (missing will result in 'Development') -->
    <add key="App.Environment" value="Development" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>
