It allows you to easily connect your .NET applications to Salesforce data, and integrate Salesforce services with widely used data-oriented technologies. dotConnect for Salesforce offers local SQL engine to query Salesforce data, advanced data caching, query optimization and other enterprise level features.
dotConnect for Salesforce eliminates the need to learn complex Salesforce Web Services API - it allows you to use your knowledge of SQL and LINQ to Entities.
In order to provide the easiest way to integrate Salesforce services into .NET applications and the highest performance, dotConnect for Salesforce offers a number of enterprise-level features.
Its local SQL engine allows you to use SQL-92 compatible SELECT statements to work with Salesforce Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, Accounts and other objects in the same way as with SQL tables. You may use complex JOINs, WHERE conditions, etc. - all the SQL benefits, not available with SOQL.
