DataMapper Fundamentals question

DanEssin posted on Sunday, February 04, 2007

I am starting to work on my first web service project so I looked at the sample and cam acoss DataMapper.Map. I checked the index of the 2.0 book and the 2.1 eBook and found no mention of the DataMapper anywhere. I searched the forum archives and found "I built DataMapper to solve a couple immediate problems around Web Forms and Web Services."

What would be a really big help would be a cogent discussion of the problems with WebForms and Web Services that the DataMapper solves and some pointers about how and when to use it?

Thank you,
Dan Essin

Check your index again.  In the C# book, it is on pages 85-86 and 280-285.  In case it really is missing from your index, it is in chapter 5, completing the framework.

You can also look in Chapter 11 to see how it is used in a web service setting.

It isn't mentioned in the 2.1 book, because it didn't change for version 2.1.

You're absolutely right. It was my oversight. There are so many sections in the index that all begine with "data " that I didn't look far enough to see it.

Thank you
