How to store C# objects in DB

I want to store objects that i create programmatically in C#, like in J2EE
(which is callad i think relational mapping or sometihng like this). I want
to create objects that i use for my enterprise applications and store them in
database after execution. And I want the columns and rows related to my
objects to be created and filled automatically.

How can i do that. Thanks?

There is nothing for that in the .NET framework. You'll need an object
database (look that up on google or wikipedia, there are quite a few
products for .net). I tried the ones from www.db4o.com and www.versant.com.

Hi, In Access you can use the OLE OBJECT type - I don't use SQL Server - but
sureely it has some equivalant ?

How'd you store a C# object (instance of a class) in an OLE Object field
in Access? I could be wrong (or have misunderstood the OP), but I think
these are two completely different things.

serialize to memstream, read the bytes, store in the blob field. to
use it: read record, place bytes in memstream, deserialize.

ps: versant's .net o/r mapper is now a separate company.

May this helps you,
- Serialize your object at run-time using binary formatter into byte stream
- Store the binary data into sql server database as BLOB like how you store
images etc as binary data
- On extraction, get the binary data stream as byte[] and deseializer it to
get actual object

Or You may want to use the way given in the following link,

Hi,

In addition take a look at NHibernate

Thanks a lot. Is Visual Studio 2005, or in other words .NET 2.0 supports
relational object mapping by default? Or can we do that by your instructions
by myself?

Thanks for help...

not that I know of.

just wondering... do you need to run queries on the stored objects (like
retrieving all objects that have a field set to a certain value) or do
you simply want to store them so they can later be restored?

in the later case serializing the objects (using the BinaryFormatter or
similar) should be fine. If you need to run queries on the objects you
should choose something that does real o/r mapping for you.

Actually I want to use instances of my classes that i have stored. For a
product category i want to store properties of products. For example i have a
notebook category and hundreds of notebook items with different properties. I
want to store the data about them in db as persisted objects. I want to do
the task that "hibernate" do in J2EE (Or NHibernate in .NET) by myself.

There's no build in O/R mapper in .NET 2.0 / VS.NET 2005. You have to
use a 3rd party application for that, like LLBLGen Pro
(http://www.llblgen.com )

You can try yourself of course, however as it took me 3 years of 10
hours a day, 7 days a week, to write mine, I don't think it will be
feasable for anyone to 'do that for their current project'.
