Korby Parnell's CodePlex Wunderkammer - ActionPack for Your DAL: It's Slicker Than Hot Poi
"My good buddy Rob Connery, of Commerce Starter Kit fame, has started a groovy new project on CodePlex called ASP.NET ActionPack. ActionPack consists of a set of ORM tools, code generation and dynamic query tools.
Inspired by the magic of Ruby on Rails, ActionPack provides a BuildProvider that reads your database and creates all the objects (and strongly-typed collections) you need to get rolling. It even wraps your stored procedures and creates accessor methods for them (returning readers). They have also rolled in Rails Scaffolding, providing you with a full-blown editor, in seconds.

I've resisted playing with Ruby on Rails (my brain's transaction log is almost full ...) but I am interested in seeing the reported Rails coolness in the .Net world...
Plus I hate writing DAL's and the SP support sounds cool.
I've added this project to my watched project list and will be interested in see how it evolves...
I'm sorry Ayisha, I killed your comments...
ReplyDeleteI didn't look too much like spam, but was very off topic (I'm not sure how a list of book sites really relates to this post...), so I errored on the side of caution and killed the comment.
Please email me if this was a mistake, you want to clarify the comment, etc.
Thanks
