The ORM don't make the developer's life much easier...The target of ORM is : Think before in your entities and your model, then think on how make it persistent.
The life of a developer is the life of a developer... BTW you can try some other tool as: - write all code needed by your self using ADO.NET - Use LINQ2SQL designer (before look the generated code is better to go to the church) - EntityFramework - Another commercial and no-commercial ORM tool - Code generators - MS application blocks After that you can choose which is the better tool for your systems... I don't know who said that ORM make the life of a developer much easier... for that, an ORM, should find a way to deal with some of mine customers, pay my taxes, deal with my wife, deal with my dog and so on. 2008/9/20 ndotan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Hey all, > I have a theoretical question.i fail to see how nhibernate makes life > easy for me by mapping relations. > > Every way i look at it, it seems that it poses more work to the > programmer. > for example taking directly from the documentation: > > http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/nhibernate/html/example-parentchild.html > > Parent p = (Parent) session.Load(typeof(Parent), pid); > Child c = new Child(); > c.Parent = p; > p.Children.Add(c); > session.Save(c); > > 1.
