I hear you, I worked on MyGeneration for years and years and that was a 100% free product (still is) but with three kids you soon realize college ain’t free … (LOL)

@ Mike I use both SubSonic and EntitySpaces at work, and ES’s dynamic query syntax is very nice. EntitySpaces is easier than SubSonic in many situations — like this one. Many people can’t cough up the $299 for ES though (me included).

Hi pardo, promise I’m not going to spam all your posts, SubSonic is a good architecture, I just though I’d show that same query in EntitySpaces …

Hopefully the formatting won’t be hosed on this? Notice the syntax is all natural language and easy to read, ie, the solution looks the problem its trying to solve.

EmployeesQuery q = new EmployeesQuery();
q.Where
(
(q.FirstName.Like(“%michael%”) || q.LastName.Like(“%michael%”))
&&
(q.FirstName.Like(“%pardo%”) || q.LastName.Like(“%pardo%”))
);

EmployeesCollection coll = new EmployeesCollection();
coll.Load(q);
