I see this in the documentation : 3.5.4. <result> Elements The <resultMap> element holds one or more <result> child elements that map SQL resultsets to object properties.
3.5.4.1. property The property attribute is the name of a **field** or a property of the result object that will be returned by the Mapped Statement. The name can be used more than once depending on the number of times it is needed to populate the results. If I try to use a public field, iBatis does not work. The way .NET properties are implemented - it's easy to start by using public fields, then switch to using getters and setters later. This is nice because I find getters and setters to be verbose and painful in the beginning... I know it's not "best practice" - but.... are the use of public properties expected to be supported by iBatis.NET anytime? -- --------------------------------------- Donald Dwoske Software Journeyman http://www.loraxis.com/ddwoske
