Jasper was announced at Mix 07 and looks mighty cool. Here is a piece of the announcement I snagged from the ADO.NET Team Blog:
“This week at Mix 07, Shyam Pather and Sam Druker will present Microsoft Codename “Jasper”, an ADO.NET incubation project for building quick, clean and iterative applications! Building data-serving applications can be cumbersome and time consuming, requiring developers to create their own data layer, write queries, and then hook everything up to a UI. Using “Jasper”, developers start with a connection string and can immediately begin programming the core of an application. “Jasper” uses a set of new technologies to make this happen:
- Dynamic generation of data classes so there is no configuration or design time code-gen to carry around.
- Rich query and O/R capabilities because “Jasper” is built on top of the Entity Framework.
- Auto-binding capabilities for ASP.NET, WinForms, and WPF to make binding data to a UI simple and automatic.”
Read the announcement on the ADO.NET Blog and download it. Very, very cool.
