AutoPoco v0.2 Released

I've added some features to AutoPoco to make it actually functional

Configuration can now be done automatically:

IGenerationSessionFactory factory = AutoPocoContainer.Configure(x =>
{
    x.Conventions(c =>
    {
        c.UseDefaultConventions();
    });
    x.AddFromAssemblyContainingType<SimpleUser>();
});

As to start with, meaningful data isn't always required - just non-nulls and sensible defaults.

Collections can now be created with controlled content, for example:

            mSession.List<SimpleUser>()
                .Random(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Bob")
                .Next(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Alice")
                .All()
                .First(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.LastName, "Blue")
                .Next(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Red")
                .All()
                .Get();

Will create a table of data looking something like:

Obviously these simple examples are only the beginning, I've also written some documentation for the existing features + new features over at the codeplex site:

• Getting Started
• Configuration
• Data sources
• Object Generation

I'll be using AutoPoco to generate a ridiculous amount of test data for one of our systems in the coming weeks, so I'll no doubt discover any shortcomings and rectify them, in the mean-time feel free to ask for things in the discussons forum at the Codeplex site (or in the comments here)

This used to ask if you wanted to hire me

But chances are I'm not available, as I'm busy shipping stuff.

I am available for conference speaking, I like talking and will do so for just T&E (and perhaps a bottle of wine or two).

I have done soft keynotes, and usually entertain/rile people in equal proportion, but prefer to talk tech as that's what I do

Email me :)
