Question

I have a solution with two projects. The first project contains the definition of the database model and the second has the forms. I wonder what is the best way to use DesignData in the second project with the model defined in the first project. How do I link?

Answer 1

Look into an MVVM architecture

1. Put the visible window ‘forms’/pages into a View project (which only handles user interactions and GUI operations.)
2. Create a View Model project which process the business logic which consumes the database models.
3. Use the View Model class(es) to bind to items on the view for display of the data.

You get the benefits of MVVM architecture by splitting out and seperating the concerns of the Model, the view and the business logic (view model).
