OPF.NET v1.0.0.864 Review

The Object Persistence Framework for .NET (OPF.NET) is an O/R Mapping class library that can manage object retrieval from and persistence to relational database systems and other persistent storage mechanisms, such as XML files. OPF.NET works by having your objects inherit from various classes like the Persistent, Collection, CollectionSqlDataManager, and PersistentSqlDataManager classes in order to perform standard CRUD-type operations in your objects. OPF.NET fully supports transactions for all database systems that support transactions. Currently OPF.NET offers storage classes for Microsoft SQL Server, ADO, OLEDB, and ODBC. OPF.NET has also made recent performance enhancements to speed up data access by implementing the ADO.NET DataReader internally. OPF.NET also offers an OPF.NET Studio product which is a business object generator based on OPF.NET. It allows you to automatically create business objects and create test cases for NUnit. Support for OPF.NET is provided via online forums, code snippets, and online documentation.

Publishers Note:

Although the writer marked this as "Free for non-commercial development" based on the vendor's website, I don't think it is legally possible to license via GPL and then limit to non-commercial uses. What's more, the whole concept of imposing a limitation is, in my opinion, counter to the spirit of the GPL. Consult your legal counsel if this stated limitation matters to you.
