Someone (Gregory Young, IIRC) suggested this API in one message a few days ago as means to solve persistence issues. I since took a look at it and seems interesting. I would like to read more about it. I'd like to find out about the mechanics and what steps do you need to follow in a bigger system. Something like a programmer's guide, more than the reference help documentation that comes with the library. I already read everything that's posted on SourceForge (http://bbooprevalence.sourceforge.net/), but I would like a better description. Is anyone aware of such a resource on the net?
That hasn't been updated in years last I checked. There is db4o, which is similar and open source, but is gpl and costs money to use in a non-gpl application: http://www.db4o.com/ These other options are all open source and free to use in non-gpl apps: I don't know if you have heard of ActiveRecord (used in Ruby on Rails), but there is a port to .NET: Castle ActiveRecord http://www.castleproject.org/index.php/ActiveRecord and this visual studio 2005 add-in: http://altinoren.com/activewriter/ Other than that, there are some object-relational mappers for .NET. The most popular is NHibernate, but see also Gentle.NET and NPersist, as well as other options: NHibernate http://www.hibernate.org/343.html Gentle.NET http://www.mertner.com/confluence/display/Gentle/Home NPersist http://www.npersist.com/home/Default.aspx See also LINQ and DLINQ in the next versions of C# and VB.NET. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
