This update delivers expanded IDE compatibility, support for latest database versions, new security components, and platform improvements that benefit developers across the Delphi and Lazarus ecosystem.

Not all ORM tools are built for the long haul. Free frameworks like EF Core and Dapper are powerful starting points, but complex schemas and growing teams have a way of exposing their limits. Here's how free and commercial .NET ORM tools really stack up, and how to know which one your project actually needs.

We’re excited to introduce dotConnect 2025.1, now with full support for the latest .NET and Visual Studio, faster performance through batch updates, built-in OAuth for easier cloud integration, and a streamlined provider lineup. This release also debuts a unified key-based licensing system that simplifies activation, maintains support for existing customers, and offers new users a clearer, more flexible model.

NHibernate vs ADO.NET is the ultimate data-access face-off in .NET development, raw SQL control versus ORM abstraction. Discover which approach delivers better performance, maintainability, and productivity, and when it makes sense to combine both through an ADO.NET provider like dotConnect.

We are excited to announce a new release of SecureBridge, EntityDAC, and the dbExpress product line. This update brings extended support for modern IDEs and databases, new connectivity features, enhanced security options, and improved developer productivity across multiple platforms.

Picking between ADO.NET and Dapper isn't just a technical decision—it can shape your project's speed, scalability, and maintainability for years. Before you write your next line of code, find out which tool matches your goals.

Microservices love Dapper’s speed. Complex domains need NHibernate’s depth. But what about performance tuning, scaling, and real-world demands? Explore the pros, cons, and case studies that show exactly when—and why—to use each tool.

Compare Dapper and Entity Framework Core to choose the best ORM for your .NET project. Learn about performance, query execution, and best use cases.

Optimize your .NET app with the right ORM. NHibernate offers deep SQL control and advanced caching for enterprise applications, while EF Core delivers speed, simplicity, and seamless .NET integration. NHibernate excels in complex queries, while EF Core is lightweight and cloud-ready. Picking the right one ensures smooth performance and scalability.
