I altered my copy of iBATIS.NET so as to allow a provider to mix classes from
different assemblies. In my case I needed it because I created a "wrapper
class" around SqlCommand but wanted to retain all the other classes as they
were. The way it works now is that if a classname contains a comma, it is
loaded via "IBatisNet.Common.Utilities.Resources.TypeForName(className)" which
can load from different assemblies, while if it has no comma it is loaded as
before.
If you think this is a good idea, here's a patch for Provider.cs:
