LinqConnect 3.0

LinqConnect is a LINQ to SQL compatible ORM solution with extended functionality, support for SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, its own visual model designer, seamlessly integrating to Visual Studio, and SQL monitoring tool.

The software creates mapping model, generates data access layer code and supports complex types, with an ability to create entity properties with internal structure. LinqConnect caches compiled queries automatically, while allowing users to set cache parameters and control caching process. It provides the same interface to all database servers, enabling users to easily develop applications that are able to use different databases.

LinqConnect 3.0 is remarkable for introduction of Fluent mapping and advancements in Entity Developer. Mapping is always checked for errors automatically during compilation and can be easily modified at run-time. Entity Developer includes Fluent mapping code generation templates. Users can design the model, and Entity Developer will generate both entity classes and the fluent mapping code for them. Major improvements in the usability and user-friendliness of the application also include entity shape coloring, selection-driven highlighting, application and diagram skins.
