Sean McCormack released a new version of Codus, version 1.1.
If you are new to O/R Mappers and / or looking for a simple-to-use O/R Mapper for .NET, I highly recommend you check out Codus. It is open-source and easy to learn so that you can be productive immediately.
I wrote a couple of posts within the past month or two that highlight the architecture and code of Codus. You can check out the following posts:
For developers new to O/R Mapping, keep in mind that I am looking “under the hood” of Codus in the 2 posts and showing you things you never have to see or think about. Codus is very simple to use with most of your data access needs only requiring a few lines of code.
Download Codus here. While you're at it, Sean also released a new version of his unit testing framework, Zanebug v1.5. Download Zanebug here.
New in Codus version 1.1:
- Added support for Oracle (Provided by Trevor Leybourne)
- Added support for Child Properties
- Added multi-threading for loading of table schemas (Provided by Trevor Leybourne)
- Strongly-typed collections now inherit from SortableCollection (Recommended by Levi Rosol)
- Entity objects now inherit from BaseEntity, allowing you to modify the Entity class without having your changes overwritten (Recommended by Levi Rosol)
- Codus settings file (codus.settings) is now stored in LocalApplicationData vs the install folder. Should eliminate non-admin user issues.
- Fixed issue with stored procedures not including parameter lengths (Found by Chris Woodruff, George Coles, Levi Rosol and Jay McAnally)
- Fixed issue with DateTime insertions being 2 days forward (Found by George Coles, Levi Rosol and Jay McAnally)
- Fixed unit tests to now use DateTime.Today vs DateTime.Now (DateTime.Now was causing tests to fail) (Recommended by Levi Rosol)
- Fixed NAnt build to do build even if NAnt isn't installed on computer (uses Codus version)
- Upgraded Zanebug generation to Zanebug v1.5.0
