Paul-
Have you had a chance to play with LINQ for Entities and/or LINQ for SQL? What is your opinion if you have? With this stuff replace WORM? Can WORM be built to utilize this new tech?

Hi Travis:
Its certainly going to be possible for my mapper or any other to integrate with LINQ in the sense that we can use its query syntax. As for whether or not one of the MS LINQ O/RMs can replace my ORMapper, its still a little too early for me to honestly reply. The last usable CTP of LINQ for SQL was May 2006, and it was very good -- much better than I was expecting. But there were also some things missing, so I'm eagerly waiting for the next CTP that promises to integrate LINQ for SQL again. As for the LINQ for Entities case, I believe its a very different beast so far -- and by that I don't necessarily mean terrible, as I suspect it depends on your needs. But for me, and most likely the users of my ORMapper, its LINQ to SQL that is the comparable O/RM -- i.e. its simple and enough for most cases.
Thanks, Paul Wilson |
