FYI, the DataMapper.sln can be used file. That should work properly. The IBatisNet.sln file is old (prior to the move to Apache SVN). Not sure if Gilles wants to keep the old solution file around for other reasons...
What is the string concatenation crap you're producing Larry? Could we have an example? :-)

1.0.1.321 is started to show sings of age. Since it sounds like you're

The Visual Studio solution file currently has some very small quircks
in it that have been marked as needing fixed:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-43
IBatisNet does not use DataSets or DataTables to return data. It
returns data as either ILists or strongly typed collections (i.e.
ProductionCollection, CategoryCollection, etc.) which extend IList.
Most (all?) list related controls in .Net (DropDownList, ListBox, etc.)
can bind to IList. I recommend using this base class when interacting
with the mapper:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ibatis/trunk/cs/npetshop/NPetshop.Persistence/MapperDao/BaseSqlMapDao.cs
public UserCollection UserGetMany()
{
try
{
return (UserCollection)ExecuteQueryForList(" User.GetMany", null);
}
catch(IBatisNetException ex)
{
throw new XXXXXDataException("Unable to populate UserCollection
object from UserGetMany query.", ex);
}
}
There are tools for quickly generating entity objects and strogly typed
collections as well as general use classes for filtering and sorting
strongly typed collections (similiar to DataViews for DataTables).
I use IBatisNet every day in my development environment. I'm sure
myself or someone else on the list can answer any questions you or the
consultant has.
What database are you working with? Are you working on a WebForm or
WinForm application?
