Full multi-tier ASP.NET code generation solution?

You might also take a look at the Codesmith tool (not free) plus the n-tier generation templates (free) that are available for Codesmith. This generates the bottom two layers (business and data), and does so in a fashion that allows you to re-generate without losing any custom code.

Also, LLGenPro(?) has some similar tools and generators for nHibernate and other stuff. nHibernate is also open source.

Might wanna look at http://www.mygenerationsoftware.com

It is a free Code Generation tools. There is quite a lot of templates already developed.

The nice thing is that it is easy to modify or develop your own templates for code generation.

Anyone looked at Iron Speed Designer? http://www.ironspeed.com/products/ This is one product we're seriously evaluating (i.e. this isn't a plug in disguise). Michael.

I looked at Iron Speed Designer several years ago, and created a production application with it. It was a great tool to get an 85% solution, and you could get a pretty robust application up in all of 15 minutes if you had a decent database structure on the backend. But it was a real pain in the *** to do the last 15%. At the time it was difficult to take advantage ofthe entire page lifecycle and there weren't enough hooks into their model. Eventually, I gave up on it.

However, that was at least a version or two ago, when it was still running on .NET 1.1. They were continuing to improve the model and open up more hooks into the system. I would think that Partial Classes in .NET 2.0 would have been a major improvement for them too.
