Software Description

LightSpeed is the best high performance .NET domain modeling and O/R mapping framework available. First class LINQ support, Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 designer integration and our famous high performance core framework means you can create rich domain-driven models more quickly and easily than ever before.

Powerful Visual Designer

Save time - from no code to a working domain model in 10 minutes with the rich Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 integrated LightSpeed Designer. Create entities, drag and drop tables from your database, add rich validation and round-trip updates to and from your database.

LINQ Support

LightSpeed includes LINQ support when targeting .NET 3.5 or above meaning you can leverage either the built in LINQ-to-LightSpeed querying model or the traditional LightSpeed querying model. This feature effectively enables LINQ to MySQL, LINQ to PostgreSQL, LINQ to SQLite, LINQ to Sql Server and LINQ to Oracle.

Migrations built in

Save yourself the pain of writing sql migrations - LightSpeed can manage schema migrations for you! Save hours of with this one feature alone!

Convention Over Configuration

LightSpeed does away with verbose XML configuration and mapping files in favor of a simple, consistent set of conventions for how domain objects should be built. This approach increases agility by both minimizing unnecessary duplication, and, by providing a consistent set of patterns for how the domain model is represented.

Small & Lightning Fast

LightSpeed is designed to be fast. It employs several advanced performance enhancing techniques such as dynamic methods (LCG) instead of reflection, multi-reader eager loading, lazy loading and optimized query batching. Our internal benchmarks show LightSpeed to be faster than NHibernate.

Employs Best Practice Patterns

LightSpeed uses patterns from domain-driven design including Repository, Unit of Work, Entity, Value Object and Specification.

Key features:

- Model objects inherit off LightSpeed Entity class, which implements important .NET model object interfaces: IEditableObject, INotifyPropertyChanged, and IDataErrorInfo.

- LightSpeed's designer can automatically manage your schema changes so that you can more easily deploy changes and focus on project delivery.

- LightSpeed has full support for the open source, multi-platform version of the .NET Framework, Mono.

- Uses conventions that mandate how particular aspects of your domain model should look.

- Includes a rich and high performance LINQ implementation enabling developers to either query using LINQ operators or the traditional LightSpeed querying API.

- Includes a rich design surface that is integrated directly into Visual Studio 2008.

- Uses concepts and patterns such as Entities, Value Objects, Unit of Work, Repository, Specification and Aggregates.

- Designed to be fast and efficient.

- API has been designed to be as simple and easy to use as possible.

- LightSpeed's built in validation framework makes it easy for you to apply validation rules, create your own rules and create custom validation overrides.

- Uses efficient batching strategies and query optimization.

- Supports SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server CE, Oracle 9+, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, VistaDB, FireBird and Amazon SimpleDB.

- Fully supports generic and nullable types.

- System.Transactions support.

- Leverage the power of Lucene.Net to get database independent, high performance full text querying using the familiar LightSpeed querying API.

- Supports Stored Procedures on SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL.

- Allows you to expose your data to the world, allowing you to mark up your entities to be used directly with WCF based services or in conjunction with Data Transfer Objects.

- Provides a native query provider which allows you to share your data with your Silverlight client applications using WCF RIA Services.
