Favorite Whidbey DataSource

June 7, 2004 15:38 by matthaw

What is your favorite Whidbey DataSource. Mine happens to be the ObjectDataSource because most of what I do revolves around writing business logic components that ultimately retrieves and processes the data for me. With the advent of Generics in .NET 2.0, this is seemingly getting easier to do because you can pass back a List<T> instead of just a plain old DataSet. What's yours and why? Do we need more DataSources out of the box?

If you will have some problem with Nullable<T> types with the ObjectDataSource, so will that be fixed during the beta timeframe.



You can read more about that on my blog:

Like you, i'm looking most forward to using the ObjectDataSource. Databinding against business objects is a definite plus. I'm also looking forward to the XmlDataSource. These two will really simplify databinding a lot as well as hopefully reducing the amount of required code.



At work i'm forced to program against an Oracle database. I really hope Whidbey's designers will have more support for Oracle, since it kinda sucks like it is now Smile. Oracle's own Data Provider for .NET doesn't have any designer support at all, nut i'm hoping that will all change, now that Oracle have joined the Visual Studio Partners program.

ONLY if MS finally makes it WORK. I am so tired of spending weeks on getting this working in our O/R mapper. THis is ridiculous work. This should have worked right from the beginning.

Thomas, the March drop never worked for me, but I'm having no problems with the may drop. Remember, this is pre-alpha, expect things to not work!

I did not sa anything about a build.



All I said is iit wil lbe wonderufll WHEN MS FIXES THEIR ISSUES.



And I waas referring to tremendous oversights in .NET 1.0 / 1.1



Basically, it will be great (once their work is finished) if I can JUST USE IT. Otherwise I will be pretty sad Smile

I had a chance to talk with the Oracle folks at TechEd in a BOF session (yeah, they were actually there, 7 of them!) they hinted that IDE-integration was one thing that they're excited on doing -- as well as allowing allowing more Oracle Object stuff through ODP.Net

Do you have a specific example of one of these oversites? Datasets work great for me in 1.0/1.1 even complex hierarchies using DataRelation..
