DotConnect enables ADO.NET and Entity Framework to work with Magento data, offering advanced connectivity options.

The software comes with the same standard ADO.NET classes as other standard ADO.NET providers, including MagentoConnection, MagentoCommand, MagentoDataAdapter, MagentoDataReader, MagentoParameter, etc. This makes it easy for users to get started with it and eliminates the need to study any Magento data access specificities.
Some of the key features of this software include connecting to Magento from Server Explorer, Magento Data Binding, and performing SQL queries against your Magento data. You can use SQL statements to work with Magento accounts, contacts, leads, contracts, products, campaigns opportunities, and other objects.
Whether you're looking to connect to Magento to perform simple data queries or you want to take advantage of the more advanced features that it offers, dotConnect for Magento is the perfect solution. With its Entity Framework support, users can take their data access to the next level and enjoy a seamless and efficient experience.
