Is there a Query-Mapper like iBATIS.NET but with dirty tracking, lazy-loading and cascading updates?

I think Nbernate is your best bet. You can use loader, sql-insert, sql-delete, sql-update elements to configure store procs for entities and lazy load collections, although it means quite a lot of keystrokes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
