IDataHelper db = DataHelper.SessionFactory();
 
//Specify User Name and License Key from the receipt, leave blank for trial mode
//db.UserName = "John Smith 1234";
//db.LicenseKey = "asdfl219==";
 
//Enable Filling in Maint Fields (the default)
db.FillInMaintenanceFields = true;
 
//Log to the console
db.EnableLogging();

db.OpenConnection();
 
//Create a new Person to save to the database
Person currentPerson = new Person();
currentPerson.FirstName = "John";
