FrameworkGen

FramworkGen is a .Net ORM that generates the data access persistence code for windows and web applications. FrameworkGen generates C# 2.0 code in an 3 Tier architecture. By simply selecting a SQL Server database, FrameworkGen will build Stored Procedures in SQL Server and a Business and Data Layer in C#. This greatly reduces the time developers spend on writing data access code while improving the quality of the overall architecture. Developers will have more time to focus on business/functional development tasks. The data access code FrameworkGen Generates is database neutral although FrameworkGen itself currently works with SQL Server only. The data retrieval code uses SqlDataReaders for read only forward only data retrieval which provides the most optimal performance.

What is new in this release:

• Added new preference DatabasePrefixesToRemoveFromObjectNames, this allows prefixes to be stripped from entity/entities object names.
• Fixed bug with caching when using load children.
• Fixed issue with load children when there is a joing table, basically one record was always being returned even if there were more.
• Refactored entity and entities classes.
• Entity and Entities now implement IReadOnly. When an object is stored in the FrameworkGen cache it is made readonly by calling the new MakeReadOnly methods making the objects immutable. If the code attempts to modify a read only version a ReadOnlyException will be thrown. This reduces memory consumption, improves performance and offers a cleaner architecture.
• Db project has now been removerd as it was causing problems in VS2010. The stored procedure scripts are now created in an appropriately named folder under the output directory.
• Updated appSettings to be unique per database.
