Features and ideas

Welcome to the DataObjects.Net feature suggestion list. Find out more information about the DataObjects.Net at http://dataobjects.net .

If you have questions, need help or find a bug in the DataObjects.Net, visit the forums at http://support.x-tensive.com

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

Sync / Replication

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.

add JSON (de)serialization optimized for DataObjects.Net

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.

Filestream for large binary data

The idea is to have a possibility to handle big data in a performing way similar to the Microsoft MSSQL Filestreams (see http://channel9.msdn.com/Learn/Courses/SQL2008R2TrainingKit/FILESTREAM/FilestreamDemo ).
The issue of handling large media/file is increasing as computers evolve and I with this would be a strategic feature to DO.
