Oct 2011 - Aug 2017
Dapper Extensions is a small library that complements Dapper by adding basic CRUD operations (Get, Insert, Update, Delete) for your POCOs. For more advanced querying scenarios, Dapper Extensions provides a predicate system. The goal of this library is to keep your POCOs pure by not requiring any attributes or base class inheritance.
