I looked at info on ObjectSpaces back in the summer. It appears that MS might have received negative feedback on their original design (I'm attempting to remember ... ObjectSpaces seemed to be little more than some kind of simple data container)
I took another look today. I'm seeing more what I would expect to see. Things like below. Has the design changed considerably map.xml - this is the "glue" file. In it you define datasources (object and relational), and mappings between them osd.xml - this is the definition for your object. In it you define your class, and each member of it rsd.xml - this is the definition for the table(s). Things like field names, table names, PK's, nullable, etc are all definied here. and ObjectSpace - Instantiate and load object mapping. ObjectReader - Forward-only, Read-only collection of objects. (Like a DataReader) ObjectSet - Collection of objects. (like a DataSet) ObjectQuery - Represents a query, used to retrieve data from a data source based on the query criteria =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: NEW!
