More dwsLinq improvements: query sources and JSON
TURBU Tech
– When I started writing dwsLinq, I never intended it to just be an integrated SQL query builder. I did that first because it was both useful and easy to implement, but that was never the end goal. Over the last few days I’ve taken a big step towards the real goal: developing a general-purpose ...
