主角不是Enterprise Library, 而是.NetTiers, 它是一個開源的ORM結合Enterprise Library的程式碼生成工具, 使用CodeSmith編寫, 自動生成ORM和單元測試程式碼, 小兵看完它的演示視訊後, 稱讚不而, CodeSmith可以如此強大, Enterprise Library應用可以如此快捷! 下面是它的一些介紹和資料, 有興趣的朋友可以看看.

The .Net data tiers generator

.NetTiers are CodeSmith templates for object-relational mapping that takes an existing SQLServer database and automatically generates a personnalized Data Tiers application block to use in your .Net applications.

Core features include:

• Generates ready to use Visual Studio projects and solution.
• Fully integrate with entreprise library application blocks architecture. Shipped with it's own plugin, so you can configure your application directly from the entlib configuration console.
• Generate the business objects (called entities) with a 1:1 mapping ( an entity for each table, with a property for each column).
  • Serializable
  • trigger events
  • Implements an IEntity interface, which contains the columns that are present in every table
  • Specific support for enums.
• Generate Data Access Layer Components (DALC) for tables and views , with following database operations :
  • Support for basic CRUD: UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT ALL, PAGED SELECT, FIND
  • Support for queries using primary key
  • Support for queries using foreign key
  • Support for queries using keys that are part of an index
  • Support for queries using keys that are part of a junction table
  • Support for user defined Methods, generated from queries that are detected throught a very simple naming rule (_TableName_MyMethodName)
  • Support for Deep loading and saving, with children type selection and optional recursivity.
  • Support for find methods, with paging and sorting. (builded with the datagrid in mind :-)
  • NEW: Support for SqlView.
  • NEW: Select between stored procedure or xml embedded queries.
• Generate strongly-typed collections for entities and repositories.
  • Implement CollectionBase , IBindingList, IList and ICloneable
  • Sortable, even Unsortable !
  • bindable to datagrid, or any winform or asp.net controls
• it creates ASP.NET webservice for distributed programming.
• Create the stored procedures script and can automatically install them on the server.
• Generates a complete nAnt build file, to compile, test and generate chm/html API documentation.
• A full set of nUnit tests.
• Each object has a concrete and a base class which it inherit from. The concrete class is generated just once, so you have can use it to add you custom code.
• the code is fully commented (it use to Description extended properties of the data table and column) and follow the microsoft naming guidelines.
