Interface IMappingStrategy


public interface IMappingStrategy

The mapping strategy acts as a connection between the DBStore and the database management (and OR-mapping) classes. The DBStore uses methods of this interface to create and lookup mappings (or mappers, as they could also be named as such) and to get properties and informations about the mappings used. The mapping classes (e.g., instances of IClassMapping and IListMapping) also use this class as a central point of information and as a resource of common functionalities.
