FusionWare Direct Designer
The FusionWare Direct Designer is the essential tool for rapid development of applications. You will require at least one copy of the Direct Designer to activate accounts and create metadata definitions that allow the operating system to interpret the MultiValue data appropriately.

Easy and Quick
The Direct Designer offers a highly intuitive Windows-base interface that provides a method for describing MultiValue data that the provider understands. With the Direct Designer you can quickly and easily preview the results of you metadata definitions and refine them for your particular needs, before you save the definition to the server.

The Direct Designer provides an auto-map feature that immediately exposes your data. From there you can fine-tune the mapping to your satisfaction.

Standards for MultiValues
OLEDB and ADO.NET both benefit from the definition of metadata that allows them to work intelligently with your data and logic. In the past, you had to map your nonrelational data to a relational view. This was slow, complex and had performance and scalability issues associated with it. With OLEDB and ADO.NET you can now map your multivalue data as multivalue data, providing just enough metadata to allow Visual Studio applications to provide you with the full functionality that .NET developers have come to expect from Microsoft’s industry-leading IDE.

Mapped or Unmapped Flexibility
Both the OLEDB Direct Driver and the Direct ADO.NET Provider also allow for unmapped direct access to MultiValued data. The Direct ADO.NET Provider has MultiValue BASIC compatible methods that jump-start multivalue developers moving to .NET and allow for easy manipulation of raw multivalue data. Mapping is optional!
