DbPipeline.NET
OR-Mapper for C# and VB.NET that is better than Entity Framework
The DbPipeline.NET OR-Mapper library was created out of frustration of the shortcomings of Entity Framework in handling stateless web applications and hiding of SQL from skilled developers.
The DbPipeline.NET Database Interface Library shields you, the programmer, from having to learn and work with all the ADO.NET or Entity Framework database objects at a low level, and encapsulates all this power into objects with many additional capabilities and features that are not offered in the standard ADO.NET or Entity Framework.
Our goal when designing the DbPipeline.NET™ Library was to create an easy to use database access layer set of classes using 100% managed code so that VB.NET and C#.NET programmers can use it to build database applications (Client/Server, Web, and 3-tier) without having to be consumed with the programming involved with the retrieval, handling, management and storage in memory of the data while it is being worked on, and updating of the data.
