RE: [snapdal-devel] c# version has been released!

[Barry S. <ba...@si...>]

Phil,
I will definitely check out the code in detail in the upcoming weeks - a
few questions off-the-cuff however:

1.  Is this a drop-in replacement for the vb.net version.  Meaning, does
it use the same signatures, etc... So that, theoretically, I could
replace the vb.net version w/o needing to do anything?

2.  What route did you end up taking with error handling and messages to
that effect?

3.  What the heck is a mock object?

Thanks,
Barry

Well, enough is enough, it was time to get this out in the public. Here
is the
list of changes.

- completely rewritten in c#. The vb version will not be maintained 
  unless a volunteer steps up.
- Added .Net Mock Objects (.71) to the core making mock object
techniques
  a first class operation with SnapDAL.
- Major refactoring so that the DataFactory now uses the object factory
  services of the Provider instead of using it's own techniques
- Enhanced statement generation for SqlClient that includes gereration
  of statements for Tables as well as Stored Procedures
- Recording of test data supported for query calls that will build
  MockDataReaders from the saved data
- Very fast, almost indistinquishable from stock SqlCommand calls
- Much better documentation
- A much larger and better thought out unit test suite

I would like to thank the other developers who helped out in building
the base
of the code. Chad has been around since the start of the project and we
have
had a lot of talks over the last couple of years about how to best build
and
use a tool like SnapDAL. Chris is new but already has good ideas. 

Scott was particularly helpful in the major refactoring of the
underlying
StatementManager and caching techniques, and helped me to finally see a
more
cohesive API. I think the basic structure will hold up for good now and
we can
focus on new features.
