So we upgrade a product to .Net 2.0 and we get a lot of cool stuff.
For example, we have a webservice which does little more than run a SQL stored procedure, and return the resulting recordset as a strongly typed collection. About 90% of the code consisted of mapping the DataReader's column to a property of an object. The refactored code is now simplied to (the class is simplified for clarity and intellectual property issues):
public class ProductInfo
{
[Map("ProdNo")]
public int ProductNumber;
[Map("ProdDesc")]
public string Description;
[Map("CustPrice")]
public decimal Price;
}
So, to retreive a list of products I simply have to run the following code:
using(SqlConnection conn = db.GetConnection())
{
List<ProductInfo> products;
conn.Open();
using(SqlDataReader sqlDataReader = db.ExecuteProcedure(conn, "spGetProducts"))
{
Factory.ObjectFactory<ProductInfo> factory =
new Factory.ObjectFactory<ProductInfo>(sqlDataReader);
products = factory.CreateItems();
}
return products;
}
