Introducing Diamond Binding

Diamond Binding is designed to reduce the effort and risk in implementing enterprise data applications. It provides a rich API and a powerful definition generator which, with a few clicks, transforms your database into a full featured business object model, following the powerful Active Record pattern. The binding features allow a developer to use simple, type-safe, and intuitive code to manipulate and query business objects. These features are provided by a highly performant and reliable runtime engine.

With Diamond Binding you can fully implement your data access layer before your competition has finished writing their first stored procedure. Weeks later, when they have finally debugged and tested their data access layer, you will likely have already completed your application. You can see these benefits in the Why use and Examples pages, and how Diamond Binding reflects Dunn & Churchill's four key principles below.

Simple Development Diamond Binding provides a powerful add-in to the Visual Studio development environment that dispenses with the time and effort out of writing your business layer by hand, and keeps it synchronised with the underlying database. It provides an industry leading, full featured OR mapper which provides easy access to retrieving sets of business objects from the underlying data store. Simple Runtime The application will only depend on the Diamond Binding Runtime, which deploys to the target environment as a redistributable installer or merge module. No editing of configuration or binding files is necessary.
