    I use edlin to edit my code, and manually compile everything (yeah it takes a lot longer, but it's hella efficient code).

      Most things that are worth doing start out hard. And that's true for so many things in life. :)

          Does anyone here use the Dapper ORM?

          I use it. We wrote a slightly bigger ORM thing to go on top of it: Dashing[^] And yes, much time was spent on the name.

            I have heard of Dapper, and that is about all. I have the most experience with EF but I am not going on the record to say that it is the best. I'm sure there are applications best suited for Dapper. I found this to be interesting. The conclusion at the end is the most important. Dapper looks to be faster in a lot of respects. Interesting. Don't Panic Labs – Speed Comparison: Dapper vs Entity Framework[^] Looks like Stackoverflow uses Dapper.

            Dapper is considerably faster than EF. And I also believe that it was written BY Stackoverflow. GitHub - StackExchange/dapper-dot-net: Dapper - a simple object mapper for .Net[^]

              Dapper is written in C# which is from Microsoft too :-)

                I've been using Dapper's spinoff NPoco for a couple of years in a large work project and it's worked out mostly great. The good: 1. Lightning fast, just a fraction slower than bare-bones ADO.NET. 2. No surprise SQL, you know exactly what SQL is sent to the server because you wrote it yourself (unless it's a simple single-table CRUD operation that NPoco generates itself). 3. Latest versions come with Linq expressions support. Back when our project got started there was no Linq support in NPoco and I ended up writing my own Linq-like repository wrapper. (I've made several other customizations to NPoco not all of which have made it into the official codebase, so I can't upgrade.) The bad: 1. No support for the JOIN syntax in NPoco's Linq implementation. Depending on how you look at it, this can be either a deficiency or a blessing (given how ugly SQL can get with auto-generated joins in EF and other full-feature ORMs). 2. The API can be a little confusing with too many overloaded methods and methods with different names but similar functionality.

                  Not that one, but I have used something called 'PetaPoco', which is kinda based on Dapper. The nice thing, to me, is it is a single .cs file that can be included right in you solution. He also has a later version that is a normal assembly. You will probably need to google 'PetaPoco' to find it.

                  NPoco is the latest version of PetaPoco and is still being actively maintained.

                      EF 6 has more optimizations than before, and is more powerful IMHO then 4 or 5. Any reason why you can't use that?

                      The biggest reason I use Dapper, sometimes I just want to create some POCOs and have them access the db. With Dapper all I need is a connection string and my classes..

                        I used it for a project. I didn't use any of the object-relational mapping, but I liked that I could swap this:

                        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
                        string sql = @"select * from MyTable";
                        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
                        conn.Open();
                        SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
                        if (rdr.HasRows)
                        {
                        while (rdr.Read())
                        {
                        //do something with record
                        }
                        rdr.Close();
                        }

                        with this:

                        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
                        string sql = @"select * from MyTable";
                        IEnumerable flatResult = conn.Query(sql);

                        I thought that was pretty handy, especially for quick prototyping where the table and field names were changing a lot and I didn't want to hassle with altering all the field names and just wanted a quick resultset back.

                          Inline SQL for anything (C# code files, etc.) is strongly discouraged at our shop, but I see your point. :)
