* What operating system and .NET version are you using? WinXP workstation, Win2003 server / .Net 2.0
* In what contexts are you currently using iBATIS.NET? - Web Applications * What is your use? - Projects for iBatis evaluation. * What do you think of the quality of these libraries? - Very good. The project seems to fit well when you would have fine control over performance especially with denormalized db. * Why have you selected iBATIS.NET? - iBatis mapper is easy to use, all the queries stay in one place and dynamic sql is very useful. - Fine control over SQL queries. - It is easy to cache results for only certain queries, also very useful cache invalidation only on specific statements (es. update, delete ... ) * What's your overall opinion of iBATIS? - Very good, but I think more tutorials and best practices would be appreciated, especially for the Dao framework, I would like to see more examples. - A code generation tool for "scaffolding" a base Dao would be the perfect starting point. It would be useful as a tutorial, also it can include best coding practices and of course it is a starting point for coding. - I'm waiting for: "group by clause" as ibatis.java do. - it is great the support of generics. es. QueryForList<MyClass>, i hope to see in the next release QueryForDictionary<a,b> * About the documentation? (A book is on the rail :-)...) - The main documentation Data Access Guide and Data Mapper Guide are great starting points, all the features are explained. What I feel is missing is an extensive tutorial with all the features. * About yours projects using iBATIS.NET, your company? - I work for an e-commmerce web site; we are evaluating iBatis. Thanks for the great project!
