ORM vs Linq to Entities
I thought I saw in a video that Open Access ORM was going to be included with 4.0. Is it in the beta (I don't see it)? and will it be better for me to use that vs. Linq to Entities?
Hello Shawn Davis,
Thank you for using our services.
We do ship the OpenAccess assemblies with the product. You can also download the Sitefinity 4.0 SDK which ships with the OpenAccess enhancer. The only part of OpenAccess which we do not ship are the Visual Studio dialogues, however they are going to be included in the SDK with the official release. Please note that we are currently going through an upgrade of OpenAccess and I would suggest that you wait a little bit more before enhancing your assemblies - you may have problems with backward compatibility when we release RC and official versions.
