Data layer tool for Visual Studio 2005, and SQL Server.Diamond Binding provides an add-in for Visual Studio 2005 that allows selection of tables from your SQL Server 2000+ database to be available in code following the Active Record pattern. It keeps the definitions of mapped objects synchronised in partial classes (similar to the form designer) with little generated code.The API provided by the Diamond Binding runtime supports CRUD operations on objects, relationships, complex and simple queries, lazy loading, cascades and more. Diamond Binding supports generics, so all interactions with your data layer occur in a type-safe fashion. Schema changes are then found at compile time, rather than deployment.
