Query analyzer/profiler [updated]

I prefer an independent profiler. This can be activated via a DataObject.NET pane that would be part of the Project settings or running the .exe directly

Settings such as logging/caching/connections/sessions can be also done from this pane.

Entity Model Designer [updated]

2012-05-07T05:50:25-07:00

Create entity model designer to model first entities in Entity Framework like designer. Also add feature to import existing database schema into designer.

add JSON (de)serialization optimized for DataObjects.Net [updated]

2012-05-03T09:27:54-07:00

Even though it is quite simple to serialize objects with the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer it has some issues when there are circular references. There are ways to resolve this like using the [ScriptIgnore] tag or by avoiding properties who result in circular references with Linq (see also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2002940/json-and-circular-reference-exception). The DataObjects.Key is one of the properties that results in a circular reference which means it is harder to serialize in a straight forward manner. I'm not sure what the solution should be at the moment but maybe there are more developers who see this as a usefull feature and have ideas for the solution also.

Jos said:

Hi Dmitri, we used to use JSON.NET and it is just to rough for our needs. When returning something in a WCF service that returns JSON the result should always be as specific as possible. Ideally speaking we would return anonymous types just providing the necessary details but that is not (yet) supported in .NET. Our current way of doing it is returning specific Result classes... wich works but is not ideal.

Sync / Replication [is now planned]

2012-04-11T05:23:12-07:00

Synchronization between DO Domains on different machines - data replication. To get two birds with one stone: Cluster Operations and Load-balancing. This should work regardless of the underlying storage.

Comprehensive offline help file [updated]

2012-04-10T07:27:53-07:00

There is many features that are not in the .chm help file. Some of this content exists in the dataobjects.net blog and the support site. Digging it up requires online connection and its not clear where you'll find your specific answer to your question. Are you able to beef up the .chm file with more content? Even more info on extensible points of the ORM, services and even architectural information for beginners. Best practices should also be included and different usage scenarios. Thanks.

Dmitri Maximov said:

Malisa,

Good idea. I think we should choose a platform for the upcoming knowledge base with this new requirement.

Thanks

There was an alternative idea: to support only databases that are available free of charge: SQL Server Express, SQL Server CE, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, Firebird, Oracle Express, etc., but not paid versions of the above-mentioned databases.

Treat abstract classes as interfaces [updated]

2012-02-20T04:17:44-08:00

I mean the classes that are outside any hierarchy

Alex Ustinov said:

This improvement should allow to query for an abstract class that derives from Entity but not in persistent hierarchy.
So it should be possible to query for Organization in the following model sample:

public abstract class Organization: Entity
{
[Field, Key]
public int Id { get; private set; }

[Field]
public string Name { get; set; }
}

[HierarchyRoot]
public class Enterprise: Organization
{
...
}

[HierarchyRoot]
public class Department: Organization
{
...
}

Educational process [updated]

2012-01-20T03:20:00-08:00

I work with programming and today I have the opportunity to be a teacher of the discipline of 'systems development'. I believe we need to focus not on traditional techniques but innovative ones: the DataObjects.Net in this list. The study is in the direction of object orientation, independent of database and SQL commands.

Fabio,

That's great idea. How could we help you with that?

2012-01-11T02:18:07-08:00

Jos said:

Actually, since we have DataObjects.Net and since we have jQuery, I prefer not to use ASP.Net controls anymore because a) the rich server-side development is very rich and for that we pay the price by performance. IMHO the main activity of a web-server these days should be providing (JSON) data being parsed clientside with something like jQuery or Mootools or whatever you prefer as a developer. Therefore, if DataObjects.Net would provide ways to provide a JSON facade, DataObjects would become an Ultimate (!) data provider for online applications. Maybe supporting the ODATA (http://www.odata.org/) would be an idea with this... just brain-farting a bit here! ;)
