DotConnect for Salesforce v.1.0

dotConnect for Salesforce is an ADO.NET provider for accessing data of the Salesforce.com cloud CRM and database through the standard ADO.NET or Entity Framework interfaces. It allows you to easily connect your .NET applications to Salesforce data, and integrate Salesforce services with widely used data-oriented technologies. dotConnect for Salesforce offers local SQL engine to query Salesforce data, advanced data caching, query optimization and other enterprise level features.

Key Features:
* Powerfiul SQL Engine
With dotConnect for Salesforce you don't need to learn complex Salesforce
Web Services API - use your existing SQL knowledge. dotConnect for
Salesforce has its own local SQL engine that allows you to use SQL-92
compatible SELECT statements to work with Salesforce Leads, Contacts,
Opportunities, Accounts and other objects in the same way as with SQL
tables. You may use complex JOINs, WHERE conditions, etc. - all the SQL
benefits, not available with SOQL.
* Entity Framework Support
dotConnect for Salesforce supports Entity Framework v1 and v4, which allows
you to benefit from using LINQ to Entities, entity relations with lazy/eager
loading. With Entity Framework you don't need to post each edited/created
object separately - a single SaveChanges() call to persist all the changed
objects. dotConnect for Salesforce goes with its own advanced visual Entity
Framework model designer - Entity Developer.
* Local Data Caching
Local data cache increases performance greatly, and if all the required
data are cached, it even allows you to work offline without establishing a
Web service session until the cache needs to be refreshed or updating data
is required.
* Easy Access to Metadata
dotConnect for Salesforce offers easy access to metadata with either
GetSchema method or through SQL-92 compatible information schema.
