Creating an ORM in C# - Part 1 May 08 2009 ORM
Just as a warning, this is a long post. And before you groan and start running for the hills because someone mentioned building ANOTHER ORM (as if we need another one), note that this isn't meant to be something you would use in your own project. I've been working on this in my spare time as a side project to learn various features of C# 3.0 and .Net that I've never really gotten into before. And since this is a learning exercise, I decided to share my adventure with everyone else that's out there. Also keep in mind that this is not the best way to create an ORM. I'm certain that people who have successfully created one will read this and laugh at my poor attempt, but once again this is for learning purposes...
