.NET Data Access Objects / News: Recent posts

The latest release comes along with a comfortable installer that optionally supports add-in registration for both VS.net 2002 / 2003, API documentation integration and also includes the tutorial application of the online-tutorial.

Changes of the core library are minor. Apart from a small refactoring (renamed PersistenceContainer class to MappingUnit), there is only a small change regarding the handling of associated objects by the container implementations.

Version 1.2.1 contains the new Visual Studio Add-In that greatly simplifies the creation of external mapping meta data for automated persistence.

The next major release of the Data Objects will support storage of meta data within XML files as well as a graphical mapping tool to facilitate the administration of business classes.
