The killer patent for O/R Mappers
Frans Bouma pinted me to this patent. Here you can see someone got a patent on O/R Mapping.....
Does this mean we have to pay next time we use LLBLgen ? ( besides paying to LLBLgen ).
I really wouldn't know.
Luckily for me the dOOdad architecture that comes with MyGeneration (come on guys how many times must Iblog about it before you give it a try) isn't an O/R Mapper at all. It's just plain old C# or VB.
I don't really care about these Patents cause O/R mappers don't really perform on larger tables.
