Using XEP with .NET Overview

XEP provides high-performance persistence technology for .NET object hierarchies. XEP projects the data in .NET objects as persistent events (database objects that store a persistent copy of the data fields), accessing the InterSystems IRIS database. XEP is optimized for transaction processing applications that require high speed data persistence and retrieval.

The following topics are discussed in this book:

• Introduction — provides an overview of the platform architecture, and describes common installation procedures.

• Using XEP Event Persistence — describes XEP in detail and provides code examples.

• Quick Reference for XEP Classes — provides a quick reference for methods of the XEP classes.

There is also a detailed Table of Contents.

The following documents also contain related material:

• Help files for the InterSystems .NET Connectivity APIs are located in <install-dir>/dev/dotnet/help (where <install-dir> is the directory in which your instance of InterSystems IRIS is installed).

• Using .NET with InterSystems Software — explains how to access InterSystems IRIS from .NET ADO client applications.
