umm Doug .. you seem to be confusing prevalence with persistence.
Bamboo is a bit different than these items (it stores all items in memory with a transactional file that gets updated). As for using bamboo its pretty straight forward (the examples cover it fairly well). As a good starting point I would suggest http://codeproject.com/cs/database/BambooMigrationKit.asp Cheers, Greg On 10/6/06, Doug H <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
