LinqConnect for Metro

LinqConnect for Metro is an ORM solution intended to assist developers who wish to create Metro applications that can be published on the Windows Store, with ORM support for database access.

The software solution makes it possible to use ADO.NET interfaces for working with data, and it comes equipped with an embedded database engine for storing data locally using a local relational database.

With this product, all ORM features offered by LinqConnect are available for Windows Metro developers. While the Metro platform does not offer ADO.NET data access, you can use ADO.NET in your Metro applications with LinqConnect for Metro.

Since applications often need to store data locally, this software enables you to use a relational database for this purpose. The Metro platform normally only allows you to store data in the XML format.

LinqConnect for Metro puts an SQLite embedded database engine at your disposal, and it is not necessary to install additional software to work with the fully-functional relational database.

The downloadable package includes a user manual and sample projects that can help you get started on the right track, as well as Entity Developer, an application that can be used to create LinqConnect models and generate the required code.
