NHIbernate 2.0 Goes Beta 1 after Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ receives

published 1 month, 20 days ago, submitted by dcarr 1 month, 20 days ago

damon.agilefactor.com — The first official beta for NHibernate 2.0 was released today. This comes on the heels of the damaging ‘boycott’ of the Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ upcoming release, which was anticipated to be a serious competitor to NHibernate. LAST MINUTE UPDATE FROM THE NHIBERNATE TEAM There has been a change in how NHibernate is packaged as the core and contrib aspects now have dedicated locations. Since NHibernate 2.0 Alpha 1, ONLY THE CORE of the project is included at the link above. The Contrib Projects are now in a dedicated location: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nhcontrib There are a few new projects that are essential to investigate for your needs (for example the Burrow project). Also be sure to visit the wiki for these significant projects: http://nhcontrib.wiki.sourceforge.net See the end of this post for a partial list of these contrib efforts. The team at domain.dot.net has been working with 2.0.X since the first alpha, and following the progress of the trunk. In our opinion this beta has the high quality of prior betas and we recommend it for non-critical systems immediately as your risk policy allows. We’re working on a more detailed analysis coming soon on some of the key improvements. To download the code direct from the trunk use this SVN URL: https://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhibernate This is no minor update, as with this release they will align with the widely used and praised ‘Hibernate 3.2’ for Java. Here is a listing of the planned new features which are represented to varying degrees of complexness in this beta: read more...

MySQL - We beg of thee, add a true "Guid" datatype to MySQL 6.0

entityspaces.net — Basically, the MySQL Connector/Net (5.2.2.0) provider treats BINARY(16) columns as Guids, though there is not real Guid (uniqueidentifier in Microsoft SQL) data type. However, it's not transparent, there are special read and write methods for it. If you're a MySQL fan let the folks over at MySQL know that you want a true data type for Guids and not an imposter. We appreciate the hard work the MySQL Connector/Net team is doing. After all, MySQL doesn't have a Guid type yet so they are doing what they can. However, we would rather see them lobby the core database engine team for a true Guid column type. How about you? read more...

EntitySpaces and Silverlight Demo (Part 2)

entityspaces.net — Part One described the process of getting Silverlight to interact with a WCF web service, and showed how to bind EntitySpaces based data objects (WCF client proxies) to Silverlight controls, specifically a DataGrid control. While there were a lot of pages of review in Part One, it was mostly point-and-click “configuration coding”, as MyGeneration, EntitySpaces, and Visual Studio did most of the work for us. But showing data in a grid isn’t very exciting. It’s time to look at some interaction with data and give EntitySpaces a little more credit than just a data wrapper. read more...
