Transformations.Data

A practical, problem-first .NET library for raw DataRow, DataReader, and SQL manipulation.

NuGet

📖 Overview

Despite the rise of ORMs, enterprise architectures often drop down to raw ADO.NET for high-performance ETL syncs, reporting, and bulk pipelines. Transformations.Data wraps the harsh edges of IDataReader and DataTable with elegant, fallback-driven conversion extensions.

🚀 Why Transformations.Data?

Retrieving DBNull.Value triggers runtime crashes if not constantly checked. These extensions introduce defensive getters, parameter upserting strategies, and collection-to-table mappers, dramatically cleaning up your data access layer.

💡 Key Features & Examples

1. Resilient DataRow Fetching

Avoid index out of range and boxing cast errors with a unified generic getter that accepts explicit type conversions and fallbacks.

foreach (DataRow row in dataTable.Rows)
{
    // Safely reads the value. If DBNull, missing, or mismatched, returns the fallback.
    int age = row.GetValue<int>("Age", fallback: 0);
    string name = row.GetValue<string>("FullName", fallback: "Unknown");
}

2. IDataReader Streamlining

Map streaming rows intuitively.

using (var reader = await command.ExecuteReaderAsync())
{
    while (await reader.ReadAsync())
    {
        // Null safe extraction
        Guid tenantId = reader.GetValue<Guid>("TenantId");
    }
}

3. Sql Parameter Upserting

When dynamically building SQL command instances, ensure parameters are seamlessly updated or appended without duplicate key exceptions.

command.UpsertParameter(new SqlParameter("@LastLogin", DateTime.UtcNow));

🛠 Advanced Usage

You can convert massive IEnumerable<T> lists directly into generic DataTable instances structurally formatted for SQL Server's Table-Valued Parameters (TVPs) for bulk insertion.
