dOOdads or EasyObject

[yashjpatel]

HI,

I am new to both DOOdads and EasyObject. I was looking at the both framework from couple of days and seems like both framework provides same functionality.

I am planning to use either of this framework in my next project but confuse which one is better.

Can you guys can help me out on the same?

Thanks in Advance
Yash

I recommend EntitySpaces over dOOdads actually, there's no comparison in functionality and for 149.00 you'll easily recoop the effort of the cost, 10 fold ...

Always the salesman...

There are not a lot of differences between EasyObjects and dOOdads because EO was born from dOOdads. There are a few syntactical differences, but the feature list is basically the same, because it was designed this way.

The main reason to use EasyObjects over dOOdads is if you have already made the decision to use the Enterprise Library. dOOdads does not support this.

Also, if you are restricted from using stored procedures, EO can perform all operations using dynamic SQL. dOOdads, I believe, only supports this for certain platforms that lack stored procedure support, such as MySQL 4.x.

Matt,

Thanks for your input it was really hlepful.

I am not sure about future development (with changing technolgoy) of EasyObject and doodads.

Well, dOOdads is no longer being developed, except that it is now open-source and anyone can contribute (but to my knowledge no one has, unfortunately).

EasyObjects is still alive, although nothing has changed for quite some time. My intent is to move EO to a paid model, so that I can dedicate time to development and research without having to worry about paying the bills.

EntitySpaces is, of course, already on that model, with full source code and support levels available for purchase.
