Is there any way to include Dapper in metro apps?
It relies on System.Data which is left out in WinRT.
If not is there any similar framework which can be used?

No. As you observe, the lack of
System.Datais pretty much a show-stopper, however in addition WinRT also omits meta-programming support, so the entire core would need to be re-written to use regular (i.e. slow) reflection. There are some elaborate hoops you can jump through to get around this, but withoutSystem.Datait seems a lost cause.Basically, the intent with WinRT (as I understand it) is to consume your data from things like web-services, the classic “smart client” rather than “rich client” model.
So you might consider:
Strictly speaking, you can IIRC break all the rules and just reference .NET anyway, but that won’t pass any MS validation, and won’t be a proper
metroWindows Store application.
