Take control of your data with the best domain modelling and object-relational mapping framework for .NET. With a high performance core framework and a visual designer built for rapid development, LightSpeed helps you deliver data‑driven applications more quickly than ever before. LINQ everywhere With LINQ, your queries are checked by the compiler and translated to efficient SQL by LightSpeed, eliminating the possibility of SQL errors or SQL injection vulnerabilities, and saving you from having to know the ins and outs of different SQL dialects. With LightSpeed, you can use LINQ portably against SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and other databases, without the need for extra plug‑ins. You tell us what data you want – we’ll take care of the rest. Simple solutions to real world problems We know that loading and saving data is only the most basic part of a real world application. For example, you need to make sure that your database schema gets upgraded as your application does. LightSpeed migrations mean you can say goodbye to complex matrices of SQL scripts and replace them with simple, portable code. Or take the details of implementing your application. You need to validate user input. You want to use data binding. You need to allow users to cancel out of their changes. LightSpeed includes a comprehensive validation framework and built-in support for common .NET object editing interfaces. No performance compromise LightSpeed is fast. We use advanced optimisation techniques to ensure that your application remains as responsive as possible. LightSpeed also provides ways to tune your data access so that you neither incur unnecessary database queries nor load data that you don’t need. Our benchmarks show LightSpeed to be faster than the Entity Framework or NHibernate.
