Object relational mapping techniques for .Net framework

Abstract

The paper concerns the problem of building an object-relational mapping framework based on the Microsoft .Net platform. The work uses design patterns methodology and proposes to exploit powerful features of .Net as a managed objectoriented platform such as Common Type System, custom attributes and reflection. Such approach facilitates the development, can save efforts and serves as a solid ground for further improvements. An initial implementation of the framework has been developed and successfully used to build a business information system.
