LinqConnect V3.0 adds support for Fluent Mapping

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:50:00 GMT

Connecting to your database using LinqConnect.

Fluent mapping allows you to employ the Code First (Code Only) design approach.

LinqConnect is a fast and easy-to-use ORM solution that supports SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. It provides a powerful model designer tool with complete integration to Visual Studio - Entity Developer. LinqConnect provides wide support for LINQ queries. It provides advanced eager loading support, enhanced native SQL query handling, and generates better provider-specific SQL code.

Updates in V3.0

New Fluent mapping support provides the following advantages over XML and attribute mapping:

Unlike attribute mapping, fluent mapping does not modify entity classes, allowing them not to be persistence-aware
Application code performs mapping, so mapping is always checked for errors during compilation
Mapping can be easily modified at run-time. For example, different DBMS can be used for persistence depending on the application settings

Fluent mapping allows you to employ the Code First (Code Only) design approach and removes the need to design models or write XML mappings.
