The Dohickey Persistence Framework

Why the name dohickey?

I accidentally found this word in Dictionary.com while looking a nice synonym of the word "object".  And since I am someone unpopular or "not known" in the IT Industry so I decided to name my framework "dohickey"!

What is Dohickey Persistence Framework?

It's an O/R mapper that I made to help me with my personal/freelance projects (which is currently in beta 2).  FYI I made this not for the intention of competing with other people.

Now some sample code:

DataManager manager = DataManager.CreateManager("mapping file", "connection string", ProviderType.MsSql2K5);

ApplicantEntity applicant;

// Insert an object

applicant = new ApplicantEntity();

applicant.FirstName = "Chris";

applicant.LastName = "Ongsuco";

manager.Save(applicant);

// Update an object by primary key

applicant = new ApplicantEntity();

applicant.FirstName = "Chris Adrian";

applicant.LastName = "Ongsuco";

manager.Save(applicant, 100);

// Delete an object by primary key

manager.Delete<ApplicantEntity>(125);

// Retrieve a single object by primary key

applicant = manager.GetEntity<ApplicantEntity>(200);

// Retrieve a collection of objects

EntityList<ApplicantEntity> applicants = manager.GetEntityList<ApplicantEntity>(new DynamicQuery());

Well that’s about it for now.
