Last week I read that Paul Wilson had converted one of his WinForm example apps for his WilsonORMapper to NHibernate:
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2005/05/26/409042.aspx Am I the only one who thinks hibernate mapping files are hard to understand? Even for a simple app like that, the <hibernate-mapping> node was huge. Maybe once I finish reading my Hibernate book I won't be cursing under my breath so much when I have to parse those files in my head :-/ That might be a good simple-ish example WinForm project for IBatisNet. He just released v4 of his OR mapper too. I looked at the source for one of his example projects and was surprised to see hard-coded sql statements in the presentation tier: string sql = "ContactId IN (SELECT ContactId FROM CategoryContacts WHERE CategoryId = {0})"; string id = Global.Manager.QueryHelper.CleanValue(categoryId); whereClause = string.Format(sql, id); I thought OR mappers had the dynamic sql stuff worked out already? Maybe that was just done as an example. Paul's mapper implements the ObjectSpace syntax that is suppose to be part of .Net 2. It looks like it takes the idea of the DataTable's RowFilter property: dataTable.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Id > 3"; and makes it a more general search language for all objects in the system: http://www.dotnetspider.com/technology/tutorials/ObjectSpaces.aspx --- Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 5/27/05, Clinton Begin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Looks like you iBATIS.NET dudes have some competition now too! > > > http://www.latticesoft.com/Products/LatticeDataMapper.aspx?tabindex=1 > > Excellent!
