Hi Guys, I noticed some of you are not using any Data Access Frameworks or are having problems with data patterns. And since I'm working on an Object Persistent Framework (OPF) that's mainly mapping data to objects for applications' consumption, I would like to invite you guys to try out my work - PaladinHere's an abstract "Paladin is a generic, feature-rich object persistent framework that is designed for today's competitive rapid application development (RAD) environment. It contains a core library and a suite of tools that developers can easily use to rapidly engineer the foundation of their applications. The core library provides the basic services that are required by most applications, from object-relational mapping and automating SQL generation in the data access layer to providing transaction and simple workflow services in the business services layer. The Paladin framework also provides a powerful code generator that helps developers to automate the task of building business entity objects that are immediately usable on the framework." Basically, with Paladin, you can treat your data as objects and collections. Meaning instead of having to deal with Datasets and DataTables, you can deal directly with concrete classes that represents your business objects i.e. Products, Orders, Customers.For instance, to add a customer, I only need to code the following (when using Paladin Business Entities):Customer customer = new Customer ();
customer.FirstName = "Serena";customer.LastName = "Yeoh";customer.Update();
Besides simplicity, Paladin also offers features like multiple insert, update, delete in one call. Meaning, managing object hierarchies will be automatically handled for you.Give it a try today guys!

stw wrote:Hi Paladin,cool. I' courious to learn more. Could you also include in the presentation how your framework differs from others that do ORM mapping. I found so far:Of course the main difference is our short access path to the creator..
