Would love to write an article on using llblgen, but I really do not have the time at the moment - and would likely annoy people as it would sound like an advert. Frans, have you considered writing a commercial article on CP? It does have a fair ammount of readers..

I know the feeling wink

and would likely annoy people as it would sound like an advert.

It happens a lot that people are just enthousiastic about a product they use and write an article, blogposting or other writing about it. I don't think you'll be burned to the ground by doing that, the O/R mapper scene is not THAT hostile wink

That's not possible I think, CodeProject only accepts articles about open source products if I'm not mistaken, or at least tools which are free.

I'm not a marketeer so I don't really see the advantage of having a commercial writing on code project, for the sole reason that when I visit Codeproject to read about something, I don't want to read an ad, I want real information.

What's way more effective is participate in discussions across the internet (if I can track them down and understand them wink ).

There is an article on Codeproject about LLBLGen 1.x, the old dal generator though. When I wrote that, the restrictions codeproject had for articles were that the source of the app you discuss has to be delivered with the article.

Thanks for the link though. I don't know if Mats has seen this thread as it mentions NPersist, I'll let him know too.

For the record, I'm ALWAYS trying to convert people to LLBLGen! I know of at least three sales I've sent you. Come to think of it, you should have some kind of incentive program! simple_smile I'm sure I've paid your electricity bill a few times over.
