just looking at simple.data for a new project, in this project we have a existing database with very nasty/unreadable column names, I would like to have my POCO's using nice property names, so how can I map these two? Can I do something like:
I've got an idea for doing something about this, but it won't be
attributes on property names. That would mean you were putting bits of
Simple.Data in your business objects or POCOs, and I don't like that
sort of thing.
What I'm thinking of is an abstract generic type you can derive from
which will have From and To methods; you can hook these up using MEF
attributes and they'll take care of the mapping for you without
polluting your application logic or objects.
I'll reply to this thread again when there's something on GitHub.

I've got an idea for doing something about this, but it won't be
attributes on property names. That would mean you were putting bits of
Simple.Data in your business objects or POCOs, and I don't like that
sort of thing.
