LinqtoSql in MojoPortal

Do you ever plan to use LinqtoSql in the near future Joe? 

I have a new computer and couldnt find my codesmith key, so started using LinqtoSql and can in theory accomplish the same functions with a lot less code..

Whats your thoughts on this?

cheers

Tim

No, I have no plans to use it, but you are free to use it in your custom features if it appeals to you.

For me it doesn't scratch any itch that I'm feeling and it falls into the same category as why I don't use O/R Mappers in mojoPortal. 

I do like LinqToXml and other useful Linq things, but LinqToSql doesn't appeal to me personally.

Best,

Joe

Re: LinqtoSql in MojoPortal

For anyone searching for linq2sql and needs some advice on how to implement it, please drop me a line. It took me a while to figure out how to setup the db connection string outside my custom project for L2S to work.

I am very pleased with the reduced amount of coding i now need to do and seems to be performing well.
