Yep... and I'm actually a pseudo-member of the .NetTiers team (http://sourceforge.net/project/membe...roup_id=118735)

.NetTiers is an application framework / OR mapper of sorts, that will also be shipping with the next release of Codesmith that builds on the Enterprise Libarary and follows MS Patterns and Practices guidelines.

Currently working on creating a SchemaProvider for CodeSmith to use LinQ for Entities and LinQ for SQL schemas to generate the relevant code.

There's an awful lot in .NetTiers - including some handy UI controls for mapping datasources, enhanced GridView, strongly typed versions of the ObjectDataSource generated for you etc.

I did a demo at work where I attributed skeleton classes, run a utility that extracted information, generated the meta data to build a database with CodeSmith including relations, then generated the complete .NetTiers framwork to persist the original classes. When I posted it as a sample on the forum there, one of the team noticed the schema was very similar to LinQ, so the plan is to be able to create the 'Domain Model' using standard OO tools OR MS Entity Framework which is largely data driven, to generate the .NetTiers architecture from that.


Im using Codesmith / .NetTiers on my current project. It's particularly suited for data driven applications and makes use of / exposes all the functionality of the Enterprise Library.

Ah, but nobody uses the Sourceforge site for much, just CVS...
