Re: 4 weeks delay for the new stuff

Hi,
I just found your product as I'm evaluating how I'm going to do Silverlight MVVM development and after viewing the tutorials I'm quite interested in your product.
1) Does your product support Blend development and if so can you view data in design time.
2) Can I use Firebird 2.5 sql server to create model as I'm primarily interested in database to model creation. I can currently use Firebird 2.5 with Entity Framework 4.
Thanks,
John

Dear John,

1) About Blend, Sculpture generates the initial version of your views so you can edit it from Blend and set the appropriate design layout, and as Sculpture generates UI based on MVVM your designers can edit the views without warring about the back end. about viewing data in design time its general topic not related to Sculpture but related to MVVM with Blend, I think it needs some search to get the exact result.

2) the current version of Sculpture supports MSSQL Server, Oracle, and MYSQL.

Best Regards,

Hi Ahmed,

I must say that I really like your product and have already purchased several of your Molds. I have been using Agile Model Driven Development techniques for many years and used a lot of commercial code generation tools and even built a few myself.

Whilst not perfect Sculpture is in my opinion by far the best and most complete AMDD tool I have ever used. I found it easy to use, robust and the quality of code generated superb. It was great to help manage complex patterns like Prism and Unity. When I needed to override or extend the built in code generation I found it easy to do.

In the last 3 months I have used it to successfully build a very complex Silverlight application for the company I am currently contracting to – we are also using the Telerik Silverlight Toolkit for the Views and this was not a problem for Sculpture. There have been many challenges in this project but I have always found a way that a problem could be solved using Sculpture. Your team should be congratulated on an excellent product and I am very much looking forward to trying the next version.

Kind regards, Nigel Snow – nigelsnow117 at gmail dot com

Hi,

Looking forward for your new product. Your product and the very basic idea of covering full range of code generation is great.

Re: 4 weeks delay for the new stuff

Currently I'm working with Sculpture in a large project that contains 180 entities (and counting).
At the beginnig, when the model was small with a few entities, all works fast. But, when the quantity of entities was growing, the response time decreases, at point that is very hard to work and I don't know what to do.

I want to know two things: if the new version fix this problem an when finally this version will be released.

Regards,

PD: Excuseme my bad English.
