LightSpeed O/R Mapper - High Performance .NET Domain Model and O/R Mapping Framework
by David Hayden, Filed: .NET O/R Mapper
Writing data access code for a rich domain model is tedious and complicated. You need to get yourself an easy-to-use and performant O/R Mapper built using solid patterns & practices to handle it for you. I haven't tried LightSpeed yet, but it is on my list as I appreciate many of the values in the O/R Mapper's description:
"LightSpeed is an innovative, high performance .NET domain model and O/R mapping framework designed to accelerate your development while, at the same time, providing your application with a solid foundation based on best practice domain-driven design patterns. With features like convention-over-configuration, fast data access, model validation and data binding, it allows you to focus your efforts where they should be: Solving business problems and not writing tedious infrastructure and "plumbing" code."
They just released a version 1.1 and the features look pretty impressive. If you are interested, they have an express edition you can download for free!
