DLinq, LLBLGen Pro, and ActiveRecord Examples using ASP.NET 2.0

I absolutely love to see a series of posts from the community showing several examples of technologies / solutions in action. This past week I enjoyed the following 3 articles showing comparisons on how to accomplish the same thing in ASP.NET 2.0 using DLinq, LLBLGen Pro, and Castle Project's ActiveRecord:

• Using DLINQ with ASP.NET (Part 2 of my LINQ series) by Scott Guthrie
• LLBLGen Pro v2.0 with ASP.NET 2.0 by Frans Bouma
• Active Record and ASP.Net 2.0 by Ayende

In all cases you are enjoying wonderful rapid application development. If you are an ASP.NET 2.0 developer and interested in O/R Mapping Tools, I highly recommend you read the articles above.

If you are new to DLinq ( which may now be Linq for SQL based on rumblings from TechEd ), I have a number of DLinq Tutorials that may help answer more in-depth questions:

• DLinq Tutorials - Lazy Loading and Prefetching of Object Graph - DLinq Queries
• DLinq Query Execution and Object Identity - LINQ Tutorials
• DLinq Tutorial - Using External Mapping File and SqlMetal to Generate Classes and Mapping File
• DLinq Object Tracking and INotifyPropertyChanging - PropertyChanging Event
• DLinq O/R Mapper - EntitySet and Attach / Detach Private Methods - Parent Child Relationships
• DLinq Designer - Visual Drag and Drop O/R Mapping Design Surface in Visual Studio 2005 - DLinq Tutorials

Ayende's excellent coverage of Castle Project's ActiveRecord peaked my interest in writing my own tutorial on ActiveRecord in addition to the articles I have already written on the Active Record Design Pattern in general:

• Castle ActiveRecord - Active Record Pattern Built on NHibernate - ASP.NET C#
• ActiveRecord Pattern and Layer Supertype - Domain Model and Domain-Driven Design
• Active Record Design Pattern - Domain Driven Design and Domain Layer - Object Persistence

 

Great stuff from the developer community.
