NHibernate
NHibernate (a port of Java's Hibernate) is an open source object database persistence layer, meaning it can persist plain C# objects to an underlying database (MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc). This is done through some simple XML mappings which define your object's data structure and relationships. This session will cover creating such objects and querying them through Hibernate Query Language (HQL) and criteria objects. We'll run through a coding session with (arguably) .NET's most robust object-relation mapper (
ORM).
