I use a self created ORM solution where the DAL DLL does not need changing between projects as it maps the entity object to the appropriate stored proc based on custom class attributes. A custom built code gen builds the entities and stored procs (as well as WPF MVVM View & VM, ASP.NET Forms & use

Performance nat an issue.. Test harness proves its quicker than linq for same query (single and multi record). it also returns multi resultsets with good speed too. 10 result sets from 1 stored proc in 20 millisecs. On 5/8/11, Mark Ryall wrote: > I've heard of a few projects that needed to do so

I'd start with testing the easiest points first, the actual service and the components behind it. Rig up an application to hit these points in a multi threaded fashion. Eg. In a loop x long, create a new thread and fire off a call to svc or method. Repeat y times with z interval. Grant On 25/01/2

I believe you can also make nuget packages for your own libraries that you include in your projects, which means that your library is only in source control once, as the project itself. You may need a corporate nuget server for this, I'm not 100% sure.. On 26/01/2012 9:46 AM, "David Burela" wrote:
