ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping you mean? Linq is just SQL Server based for now. Have you thought of making the mapper yourself? I see the hardest point in data mistypes between C# or VB interacting with the backend. Like the FP Date type. Linq did a fantastic job in this area. All you had to do was point the EntityData object at a db, and then add the tables, views and SPs for it. Linq wired up all the data objects for them instead of you having to do that. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
