    Even those the old backend code to read from a database would work, the code was rewritten using Dapper. Had to add two column aliases in SQL SELECT statements and everything worked.
  • Import data from a database with Dapper and SpreadsheetLight to Excel in C#

    In this article learn how to create Excel spreadsheet documents from reading data from two SQL-Server table from a modified version of Microsoft NorthWind database using NuGet package Dapper and SpreadSheetLight to create and populate the spreadsheet files.

    Learn how to read reference table from SQL-Server using a single method. What is shown provides an efficient way to either use a connection, command objects to read data via a SqlDataReader for conventional work using methods from SqlClient and also Dapper which requires two lines of code to read data and one line of code to store data into list.

Mature c# projects purposely maintain no downstream dependencies and is they do, it's to a major reputable lib. See for yourself - these are staple third party packages commonly used. Anything dependency starting with System or NETStandard is Microsoft maintained.
  • How to Build a Blazor CRUD Application with Dapper
    2 projects | dev.to | 10 Mar 2021
    In this blog post, we are going to discuss how to bind the Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid with a database using Dapper and perform CRUD operations. To demonstrate this, we are going to create a bug tracker database table in MS SQL Server and perform CRUD operations in that table in a Blazor server-side application.

    Like there wouldn't be anything in between /s

    There are "simple ORMs" that only map results of SQL queries to objects. They do not provide a magic query API - which is the source of most problems. I don't do Python, but for .NET there is Dapper https://github.com/StackExchange/Dapper, you can have a look what I mean. You write the SQL query, explicitly execute it, the library maps the results of that query into objects (it's C#, so you have to declare the class. In Python I'd imagine it would create the object for you)

  • Why would I even bother using Dapper?
    1 project | /r/dotnet | 13 Feb 2021
    To add some differences: EF tracks object state in an instance of a context, Dapper does not. Dapper is strictly for object mapping (taking the output of a query and mapping it onto an object). This makes Dapper far easier to implement, versus EF’s DbContext configuration. Due to the lack of tracking and slimmer wrapping, it’s also faster. Things get really great when you have multiple complex objects and multiple result sets. It takes a lot of boring boilerplate code out of your code.

    Full disclosure I work at MSFT and on the fluid framework.

    If you are interested in this you may also be interested in the fluid framework, https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework

    We use websockets and solve a lot of the state management problem called out here by keeping very little state on the server itself. The primary thing on server is a monotonically increasing integer we use to stamp messages, this gives us total order broadcast which we then build upon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_broadcast

    Here are some code pointers if you want to take a look:

    The map package is a decent place to look for how we leverage total order broadcast to keep clients in sync in our distributed data structures:

    (Disclosure: Work at Microsoft, but I work in Azure and some open source stuff, not on or directly with Fluid/Office/etc.)

    That's just a trademark clause for Microsoft logos and brands. The Fluid Framework itself is [MIT licensed](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/blob/main/LICENS...) and doesn't require exposing any of those logos/brands when you use it, so the framework itself is fairly open for usage.

    I think the main thing that would slow down adoption for Fluid is that the only "production" backend is an Azure service, which isn't part of the open source Fluid Framework. [Other open source backends](https://fluidframework.com/docs/deployment/service-options/) aren't recommended for productions. Until there are some open source ones, I'd assume adoption will be limited to folks in the Azure ecosystem.

    Within the context of the Microsoft-verse, Fluid Framework (https://fluidframework.com) is supposed to be solving similar problems in web apps, although I haven't personally played with it.

    Microsoft recently open sourced fluid framework. It is a distributed, consensus based, real time collaboration framework written in typescript. Fluid would keep your clients synced up and your server code would only have to handle when someone hits submit. Fluid Framework
