Better Object Mapping in .NET with Dapper by Kevin Griffin

I understand that not all people like all things, but poo-pooing something just because you don't want to take the time to fully learn a thing before being able to use it effectively sounds lazy. EF is an awesome tech and while not perfect (absolutely nothing is), its capabilities are incrediable and you do yourself and everyone else a great disservice by dismissing it. That makes everything else you say here questionable so I won't bother watching the whole thing. If you can't be objective, you're of no use to anyone.

What's the point of demoing how to do things the WRONG way? If the model should be created somewhere else and services should be injected, then DEMO THAT. It's like teaching someone how to drive, but your seat belt is unfastened and you're drinking from a bottle of whiskey while telling them not to do that. It's irritating to see developers demo bad coding practices for convenience.

"you know how to create you own database" - Even if I did, why would I do it? The idea is to avoid exactly that! SQL is a very very very complex and unintuitive language.

Thank you very much kevin.

Geezz.. you lost me in the Store Procedure part.
Store procedures are a nightmare that I never wanna have to deal with again. Debugging, code versioning, etc. Don't let me start.

In Feb 2022, Dapper async methods are not throwing exceptions when a SQL command fails.

EF core for live. Dapper is for folks that are stuck on old way of doing things just need lite improvments

Great video, thank you, Kevin!

Thanks for the presentation PDF. Appreciate it. This is going to help my team to get started with Dapper.

Thanks Kevin
What if I create a model that has all the columns in the person table and have same query, how do I narrow my query to display only my specified columns of my sql statement?

The title is misleading. It is just a beginner level.

Started using dapper recently and the part about transactions was very good! Tks

I can't emphasize how good this video is !

Hi, is there any technology like Dynamic Data (.Net Framework) but for core or .net 5?

I mix both EF and dapper. Using EF for code first and DbUp for applying the migrations and EF for easy selects with filters and aggregations and dapper for large tables and complex database requests.

Dope!
But i'm in a situation where using SQL Helper from microsoft since 2005, in big 3 layer system.
Classes are stored in a BL library
A way to replace Sql Helper with dapper smoothly ?
Regards

I don't know why, BUT i like depper more, i don't like entity framework's black box.

You had me at: I'm not the biggest fan of entity framework

ENTITY FRAMEWORK IS WORST WHAT HAPPENED TO .NET

KEVIN!

Thanks, excellent, appreciated. I much prefer dapper (and parameterized stored procedures) because we can see (and optimize) what's going on.

Nice explanation thanks.

Thanks for this

Why you don't love much Entity Framework?

Talk itself was nice, but I would say its' title is misleading. It was more like "introduction to Dapper" (and quite beginner level), rather than "doing something better with it". Eventhough it can be really useful talk who wants to know about "alternative" ORM, but I was hoping I would get something more advanced about Dapper looking at how talk is titled..

Nice talk!
