System.Web.MVC, Rhino Commons, Castle Active Record, Nhibernate, Part

Fri, 30 May 2008 02:29:45 GMT

Rhino.Commons, AR & NHibernate was the right decision for my project, but I've made a conscious effort to shield the MVC web site application from having any knowledge of their existence. This was done to achieve greater separation of layers and fewer direct dependecies.
