T4 with LLBLGen

November 8, 2013 / Matt C. / .NET

In this post, we look at leveraging T4 templates to extend the power of LLBLGen inside of Visual Studio .NET. Writing T4 templates to auto-generate code is almost a norm at this point it seems, it’s built-in to ASP.NET MVC, and used as a first-class tool in most ORMs. So why not use T4 templates to extend the power of LLBLGen as well.

Adding LLBLGen to the Dapper performance benchmark test project

February 24, 2012 / Matt C. / .NET

The Dapper project on GitHub has a performance/benchmark test project that compares a number of ORMs and data access strategies. While the project only tests a very simple fetch algorithm, it's a good starter indicator for performance. I thought I would add one of my favorite ORMs (LLBLGen) to the mix, and see how it performs.
