Cooperator Framework

Cooperator Framework

Cooperator Framework is a base class library for high performance Object Relational Mapping (ORM), and a code generation tool that aids agile application development for Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0/3.0.

The primary goal is to make simple and transparent objects yet enabling complex logic and powerful features.

The main features are:

• Use business entities.
• Full typed Model (Data Layer and Entities)
• Maintain persistence across the layers by passing specific types( .net 2.0/3.0 generics)
• Business objects can bind to controls in Windows Forms and Web Forms taking advantage of data binding of Visual Studio 2005
• Supports any Primary Key defined on tables, with no need to modify it or to create a unique field.
• Uses stored procedures for data access.
• Supports concurrency.
• Generates code both for stored procedures and projects in C# or Visual Basic.
• Maintains the model in a repository, which can be modified in any stage of the development cycle, regenerating the model on demand.
• Support for MS SQL Server only in this version.

Here is a small example that shows how iterate the order details inside an order entity:
