Retina.NET v1.0.0.6 Review

Retina.NET is a GotDotNet workspaces project for an open source O/R Mapping library. Using Retina.NET is very straightforward. Objects that want to make use of Retina.NET inherit from the Retina.Core.Entity class. Make sure your object provides a parameterless constructor and mark the primary key member of the class with an attribute. After that, you're all set. Retina.NET ensures that the database schema objects (including constraints) maintain the rules you have laid out for your objects. Retina.NET also has support for lazy loading of child objects through the use of proxy objects. Retina.NET comes with a Quick Start document (an MS word file) that lists many examples of how to use Retina.NET, code samples included. Support for Retina.NET can be found on the Retina.NET Workspace message board.
