object-relational-mapping, DAL generator

Hi,

I'm ne to this subject, and has been looking around for some software that
does the Object-Relational-Mapping, and generates the Data Access Layer. I
found alreaddy a lot of application that doesn ice stuff, but none of them
was really exactly what I was looking for. It need to be:
- free (!!)
- generates the code in VB.NET
- doesn't use dll's, but generates just the code (!!)
- preferably doesn't use stored procedures, but puts the code in the DAL
- preferably open source

The best I found until now was LLBLGen, but it makes stored procedures :-(
I'm planning to use it with VB.NET 2003 and 2005, and SQL SERVER.

Can anybody help me with this? Any help our hints would be really
appreciated!

Thansk a lot,

Pieter

Write Frans an email and tell him that only idiots don't take advantage of
stored procedures. Stick a Bush/Cheney 2008 line in your signature for good
measure. If you do this, I'll flip the bill for a copy of LLBLGenPro.

On a serious note though - if Stored Procs are the only thing in between
using LLBLGenPro and not, I'd SERIOUSLY rethink that. I was a card
carrying member of the Stored Procedures or Die club - but Frans has shown
me the folly of my ways. I still use them but I'm not ambivalent about
using generated sql. As far as free- remember that total cost is what
matters, not sticker price. I don't know of a single llblgenpro user that
doesn't swear by it. There are a lot of OR Mappers out there, but IMHO,
LLBLGenPro and Deklarit are way ahead of the pack and while neither are
free, both are a steal when you compare what you got compared to what you
pay. If I still haven't convinced you though - you may want to check out

But, it does write ADO.NET code specifically to interact with
stored procedures for SQL Server or Microsoft Access.

And, it writes the layer in C#. You could also adjust the
source code of the generator to write VB.NET instead.
Wouldn't be all that much work.

Don't get me wrong, but a Data access solution which is mature, saves
you a LOT of time, and thus a LOT of money, so that it must be free is
a bit odd. You win back the money spend on a data-access solution in no
time.
- generates the code in VB.NET
- doesn't use dll's, but generates just the code (!!)
the one O/R mapper I'm aware of which did this was Pragmatier which is
now outof business. A solid O/R mapper layer is a lot of code, and a
lot of it is generic, so it's better of in a compiled assembly.
- preferably doesn't use stored procedures, but puts the code in the
DAL - preferably open source
That's good :)

The old LLBLGen indeed creates stored procedures, its big brother
LLBLGen Pro doesn't (but isn't free as well :P)

This may seem like such a simple question, I should be embarrassed to ask it. The FAQ says an object is "A region of storage with associated semantics." OK, what exactly is meant by "associated semantics"? What, if any, associated semantics are shared by all objects? That part seems to go beyond the FAQ. Does anybody know of a resource that discusses (focuses on) this topic? -- p->m == (*p).m == p.m
