//We have a DefaultValue attribute on the Person class that fills in the default value
//Example:
//        [DefaultValue(1)]
//        public int PersonTypeId { get; set; }
 
//Get the current thread static safe instance of the helper
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==";
 
//Log to the console
db.EnableLogging();
 
//Open the database connection
db.OpenConnection();
 
//Create a new Person to save to the database
Person currentPerson = new Person();
currentPerson.FirstName = "John";
currentPerson.LastName = "Smith";
 
//Save it to the database (see the SQL in the console)
db.Save(currentPerson);
 
//This will be equal to 1
Console.WriteLine(currentPerson.PersonTypeId);
 
//Close the connection
db.CloseConnection();
