NOTE! Eggado has moved to BitBucket

C# and CLR have come a long way since their inception. ADO.NET has been around as long but not evolved nearly as much. Eggado takes generics, lambdas, expression trees, dynamic methods and DLR and uses them to breathe new life into data access using good old ADO.NET. It's for folks who can live with a SQL dialect.

It is not an ORM but take away the R or change it to mean record and it does the O and the M. In other words, it is more of an object:record mapper.

Eggado is independent of any ADO.NET provider. That's because it simply extends and deals in terms of IDataRecord, IDataReader and IDbCommand.

``` using (var connection = new SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source=C:\db\Northwind.sdf")) using (var command = new SqlCeCommand(@" SELECT [Product ID] ProductId, [Product Name] ProductName, [Quantity Per Unit] QuantityPerUnit, [Unit Price] UnitPrice FROM
Products", connection)) { connection.Open();

var products = command.Select(
(
    int productId, string productName, 
    string quantityPerUnit, decimal unitPrice
) 
=> new

    Id              = productId,
    Name            = productName,
    QuantityPerUnit = quantityPerUnit,
    UnitPrice       = unitPrice,
});

foreach (var product in products)
    Console.WriteLine(product);
