Question

If I just want to keep things very simple, and just map my tables to POCO 1:1 with no collections on the entities

e.g. instead of doing :

class Order
class OrderItems

where you have:

Order o = new Order();
o.Items <-- collection of OrderItems that will query the db using lazy loading

I just have to do this manually:

Order o = myDAO.FindById(1);
OrderItems i = myDAO2.FindByOrderId(o.Id);

using this approach, do I still need to use castle.dynamic proxy dll and have to work around the medium trust issue?

Answer 1

If you are not using lazy loading you don’t need proxy. Even when you download from nhforge, assemblies are split into required and required-for-lazy-loading.
