Make "Repository Factory" work on VS 2008

by Jesse 5. June 2009 13:33

I am writing another post at the same time to compare several MS ORM technic. Put the result first, I finally decide to use "Repository Factory". Well, it is NOT really a ORM, but a code generator like "MyGeneration". The reason I like it is: 1. it is open-source. it is very important if you want to use a long-last technic, and not need to worry about MS abandoning it during your projects are still going. 2. it is light-weight. comparing ADO.NET EF, it doesnt eat into your performance lots. There are so many reason I want to use it, even Patterns & Practice team gave up this project.

I download the source code from https://RepositoryFactory.svn.codeplex.com/svn, the last commition is Feb this year! The good news, or say best news, is the solution is compilable. But the bad news is it is not working!!!! I can tell the code in SVN trunk is a incomplete/bugy copy of RF. You have to change couple things to make it. The issues mentioned in below posts on Codeplex are still there, I put my patch in or find a workaround.

The main changes are done in "t4" files (template file, Im interesting to know where the name t4 comes from if anyone knows). Download them as you will, and use it as your risk. If you know other fixs, please do leave comments. It will benifit all of us.

It's interesting, the blog engine platform seems very variable in form.  My design skills are not so good as my C coding though, I would be interested in seeing what additional skins you can get for it.  Nice blog btw, best wishes for it and keep up the posts. Smile  Kind regards,  Peter sims.

Me neither, worked in a design agency for years. Never pick up any design ideas from them. I personally not a huge fan of how blog's looking and feeling, but the code running behind.

I worked years in C and Java, but finally decided to put my fat ass on C# ^_^. What sort of C coding are you doing? Peter
