Quick Objects is a framework and set of highly reusable components that simplify the development process of database driven applications. Quick Objects provide very robust and powerful classes that can be used as the starting point for creating a very elegant, smart, and feature rich business logic layer for any Microsoft .NET Framework based application.

Quick Objects was specifically designed for high performance applications. This offers a quick start and a short path to completion since a lot of database platform specific and other performance improvement techniques have already been incorporated into the framework.

This allows the developers to concentrate on the most important aspects of the application i.e. Logic and Interface without having to spend time writing database code or developing basic and redundant elements of the application logic and data manipulation. This also ensures that the developers across the enterprise have a consistent framework to build their business logic and hence they can focus on the core requirements quickly.

Business Logic Framework includes an application called Quick Objects Designer which can reverse engineer any of the supported databases and generate the code that automatically extends the power of the framework.

Benefits of using Quick Objects:
Consistency
All business objects expose the same properties and methods and work the same way and your code becomes consistent not just in one application but across all applications.

Fast, Efficient Code
Business Logic Framework has been designed with best practices and many years of industry experience.

Unmatched Support for SOA
With a complete focus on re-use and centralized logic the business logic framework has been built with unmatched support for building SOA solutions.

Simplified API
Our target is to make it easier and simple for the developers. Quick Objects has been designed with simplicity and effeciency in mind.

Here are some key features of "Quick Objects":

Centralized Business Logic:
· All business logic can be kept in your classes, and hence no more updating multiple layers to modify or apply any new logic.

Concurrency Management:
· All classes that build on top of our framework provide built in and robust concurrency management. Our approach lends you the complete flexibility and control on how you want to handle different scenarios associated with disconnected data.

Consistency:
· Quick Objects - Business Logic Framework has been built with consistency in mind. All classes and their relationships with each other work consistently throughout. Once you become familar with one class, the same rules and behaviour applies to the rest of them making it super easy to concentrate on the most important aspects of your application

Customizations Are Preserved:
· You can extend and add your own code to the generated classes and when you modify the database simply re-generate the underlying base layer, and hence all your changes are preserved.

Database Independent:
· Quick Objects - Business Logic Framework was built in such a way that you can create application code that is database independent and can run against any of the databases supported by the Quick Objects Business Logic Framework.

Disconnected Mode With Multilevel Sync:
· Now it is easier than ever to work with data and objects in disconnected mode and syncronize the changes with the database at a later stage. The disconnect / offline mode of the business objects allow developers to very easily create applications that modify the data and retain the changes locally. The changes held locally can be either syncronized directly with the database or sent to a remote machine via remoting or web services to be syncronized.

Events:
· All business objects that extend the power of Business Logic Framework have a complete event model that can be used to further control various stages and operations of the business objects.

Full control and flexibility:
· By extending and building on top of the Quick Objects framework, the developers are able to selectively choose the data they need to retreive or modify. Since the slowest process usually is the disk IO, getting and updating unnecessary data results in loss of performance. Quick Objects however provides the flexibility needed by the developers to be able to handle a large number of situations without having to code for every single one of them.

High Performance Design:
· Quick Objects business logic framework is designed with high performance and flexibility in mind, the developers using this framework are able to re-use and benefit from already implemented optimization and performance improvement techniques.

Large Text, Binary, and Xml Field Support:
· Large Text, Binary and Xml Fields are fully supported. Binary/blog fields are available in the business objects as a binary array allowing you to directly load any document or image from the raw binary data. Xml fields (SQL 2005 or Oracle 9i or later) directly map to a XmlDocument in the business object.

Null Values Support:
· Our framework offers the most comprehensive, consistent approach on handling null values from and to the database. Unlike the standard types introduced in .NET Framework and Nullable types introduced in .NET 2.0, our framework provides consistent behavior throughout, irresepective of what .NET Framework version you are writing code for.

Object Relational Mapping:
· Clean and Robust Object Relational Mapping where your tables are mapped to classes and provide easy and quick way to perform Select/Add/Modify/Delete any data from your database.
· Complete mapping of all relationships and ability to create joins with parent or child objects to any level.

Powerful Search:
· Classes built on the Business Logic Framework provide very powerful and complex searches on the database. This can be acheived without writing any database specific code and still maintaining full support for paged record sets.

Secure Applications:
· Business Logic Framework is built with security in mind and applications relying on Business Logic Layer can take advantage of the built in techniques that protect your application and data from attacks such as sql injection attacks.

Serialization Support:
· XmlSerialization, Web Services and Serialization Support: Business Logic classes that are based on the Quick Objects framework can utilize the power of Serialization or XmlSerialization to create powerful distributed applications or objects that have capability to persist over time and across networks.

Strong Typing:
· The classes that build on top of our framework provide a solid layer of strongly typed objects that can be used in your application. Anytime the underlying database schema is modified, the business logic base layer can be updated with just a few clicks and hence we can rely on the compiler to find all the references to the tables, columns and relationships that may be outdated or modified. The best part is all this happens at design time, so you don't have to run your application to find out that you forgot to remove/modify a reference to a column or a relationship that was removed/renamed in the database.

Requirements:

· .NET Framework 2.0 or later
· Database connection
