LLBLGen Pro v1.0.2004.2 Review

LLBLGenPro is both an O/R Mapper and a code generation tool for .NET that generates a complete data-access tier and business object tier for either C# or Visual Basic .NET based on an existing database schema. LLBLGenPro makes use of the provider model for database access architecture and supports SQL Server, Oracle, Access, MySQL, Firebird, the IBM DB2 UDB.NET provider. LLBLGenPro's Code Generation and O/R Mapper work in conjunction with each other in that once you have generated your project's code, you then reference the LLBLGenPro ORM support library in the client project and have ORM support for the code generated by the tool. Support for LLBLGenPro is provided via forums on the vendor's Web site and via e-mail (directly or through a Web contact form). Also, many sample projects are available for download on the vendor's Web site.
