Question

A month ago I searched for some tools that will generate C# classes out for my SQL database/tables. So I don’t have to write DAL classes manually and to save a lot of time.

I came across ‘ORM’ and subsonic. I watched the webcasts on the homepage http://subsonicproject.com/ and was pretty impressed by it.

But I am still missing more documentation/knowledge to feel comfortable with subsonic to use it in our projects. Today I read about the ‘migration’ feature somewhere – accidental.

How to get into subsonic? How to get more comfortable with it? How to know about all the features/possibilities it provides? Are there any good blogs/tutorials/whatever for subsonic?

Answer 1

SubSonic is irritatingly short on documentation (which is one reason I abandoned it). Scott Kuhl wrote a "Getting Started with SubSonic" document (just Google his name and SubSonic) but parts of it appeared to be out of date.

Here is Scott’s blog – a place to start at least.

Here is the document’s home page. I was curious as to whether the document is indeed out of date and I think it is: the web page has a last updated date in 2006.

Unfortunately, I know of no other documentation and I did look for it.

Update: See the link to documentation that Rob Conery provided in his answer.
