    [Want to see JustMock in action? Register for the free webinar this Thursday, Jul 22, 11 am EST and check out What’s New in JustCode, JustMock, and OpenAccess ORM.

    With the new visual designer the old wizards are now hidden and not immediately usable. The recommended way is to use the Doman Model.
