ESENT Managed Interop

ManagedEsent provides managed access to esent.dll, the embeddable database engine native to Windows.

The Microsoft.Isam.Esent.Interop namespace in EsentInterop.dll provides managed access to the basic ESENT API. Use this for applications that want access to the full ESENT feature set.

The PersistentDictionary class in EsentCollections.dll provides a persistent, generic dictionary for .NET, with LINQ support. A PersistentDictionary is backed by an ESENT database and can be used to replace a standard Dictionary, HashTable, or SortedList. Use it when you want extremely simple, reliable and fast data persistence.

esedb provides both dbm and shelve modules built on top of ESENT IronPython users.

Sandcastle Help File Builder Customizations

This fork is used by the Sandcastle Help File Builder and contains a few changes specifically for use with it when used to cache reflection and comments file data.

  • Serialization is enabled by default.
  • Added a static property to PersistentDictionaryFile to indicate reference type serialization status.
  • Updated ColumnConverter to allow serialization of reference types.
  • Added the option to PersistentDictionary to disable column compression using a new constructor.
  • Increased MaxVerPages in PersistentDictionary to 4096 as fast loading of large amounts of data in parallel fills the version store.
  • Added the option to utilize a local cache for read-only operations to speed up access to the most recently used and frequently used values.
  • Strong named the assemblies.
