As to using it, you may want to know that this is a subject to change without notice since it's an undocumented feature. I've got a mail from Magnus Stråle (chief architect at EPiServer AB) who suggested that using Object store at current time might pose some risks for future compatibility. Quoting from his mail: <blockquote>Right now we have the upcoming EPiServer CMS release (aka Odin or EPiServer 5) where object store has been given a few tweaks (new serialization format and support for generics in the API and in the store), but object store will still be undocumented and subject to change at any time. I e data that you store in object store may be incompatible between releases. </blockquote> So while it should be fairly safe to export/import between releases, make sure you are aware of it. The great part is: <blockquote>In a future version, codename Thor, we will make object store public and documented. Exactly how Object store will look in the future is not yet decided. We will take a long, hard look at the current implementation after the Odin release...</blockquote> Yay! I am so pleased, this is a really cool technology and I'm really looking forward to the functionality it may provide us with! There is also a great deal of functionality there which I have not ever blrushed upon, like channels and relations. It's going to be a ride! Thanks for all your kind words.

I might give the Object Store a go myself, now that I know how it works :-) Your Between query is just odd, and I shall not even mention your hex values. ;-) /s This is fabulous!

I have been developing EPiServer solutions for a few years but haven't come across a proper walkthrough, example and explanation of the mysterious Object Store functionality. Thank you for the effort! Very interesting indeed.
