10/6/2005 12:36:35 AM Hi Paul
It seems wrong to ask this question but you have been so helpful thus far i thought i would risk it. I just stumbled on to DataObjects.Net at x-tensive.com. It has what appears to me (a complete newbie) to be some features that I could use that i dont think ORMapper does. They included:
- "Automatic database schema building\upgrading"
- "Built-in NTFS-like security system ...Security system supporting per-instance access control lists..."
- "All is initially remotable - any persistent object or business service can be marshaled to another application domain via .NET Remoting...Serialization: DataObjects.NET completely supports .NET Serialization." (I want our app to use WebServices to access data as well as accessing it directly via a LAN)
- A price that makes yours look very very good :)
Do you know much about this product? Can you comment on the features mentioned above?
Thanks,Andrew.
10/6/2005 3:41:27 AM There are lots of O/R Mappers out there -- I'm sure some are just as good or better for some people. That's really the important thing -- what's best for each person/team -- only you can know.

By the way, no mapper can make your objects serializable -- only you can do that.

Thanks, Paul Wilson

Wilson ORMapper, of course, is not that sort of beast. :)
