Quick Objects

Quick Objects is an object–relational mapping tool for the Microsoft .NET Framework, a built in framework for business logic and validation. The architecture for Quick Objects differs from other ORM tools. The focus of Quick Objects is to provide the advantages of code reuse, code generation and object relational mapping in a single tool set.

LINQ is fully supported and it can be used against any of the supported databases. Classes generated by Quick Objects are ready for Web Services, Windows Communication Foundation and Remoting. Quick Objects allows for comprehensive data access and modification, along with an object model that allows the developer to specify and control CRUD operations.
