Key Features
Wide database support
LinqConnect supports SQL Server, SQL Server Compact, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite;
Compatibility
LinqConnect uses classes and interfaces completely compatible with LINQ to SQL, while extending its functionality, so LINQ to SQL developer can easily get started to work with LinqConnect;
Fluent mapping support
Unlike attribute mapping, fluent mapping does not modify entity classes, allowing them not to be persistence-aware. Application code performs mapping, so mapping is always checked for errors during compilation. Mapping can be easily modified at run-time;
Actively developed technology
Unlike LINQ to SQL, LinqConnect is an actively developed ORM solution. We keep on improving our product and adding new features based on user feedback;
Professional development team
LinqConnect is developed by a company having more than eight-year experience on the development of the data access technologies in .NET;
Visual model designer
With Entity Developer all the model creating and editing tasks can be performed in convenient GUI, completely eliminating the need of the manual XML editing, thus greatly reducing the development and learning time;
Performance
High enough without lots of efforts on optimizing your code.
