ActiveRecord Code Generator

Thanks to some recent interest in the community, I have made a few more changes to ActiveRecord Code Generator. First, I added a browse button and a dialog, using some code supplied by Jim R. I don't care for the folder browser dialog, but it is built in to .Net 2, so I use it. Second, I fixed a few bugs that crop up when a table does not match my arbitrary table and field naming scheme. This project was written quickly as a pre-requisite to a large project, and it shows, but it is steadily improving.

Evening Update: I added a POCO (Plain Old C# Object) template as a starting point for an NHibernate cs and xbm template set.

FYI, I updated my Castle.ActiveRecord form the Subversion repository and ran into a problem with my generated classes. I got an error on on the ValidateLength attributes. That appears to be deprecated in the latest ActiveRecord code.

Thanks for the info. I am using svn, but it's tough for me to follow the latest updates closely when I am overwhelmed by work. At the very least, I can add a toggle for the validations. They have been a hinderance as often as they are a help anyway.

Destiny 2 - The Corrupted Nightfall

== Overview == This Dreaming City Nightfall is already considered one of the most irritating strikes, in part because of bugs that sometimes prevent players from proceeding to the next encounter. Notable bugged areas are the transition from the Elevator to the Knights Steps, and after the passage, the temple sometimes doesn't reveal a way to the shadow realm where you will take your leap. Important Note: After a "de-buff" from Particle Deconstruction, shoot the boss in the head! It is quite effective, and can melt her with some coordination. Champions: Unstoppable and Overload Shields: Arc, Solar and Void (many shields!) Don't place your well in the open where boss can snipe the sword! She will break your super. Pass the "Relic" (Orb) twice to maximize damage. == Loadouts == General: * Add Taken spec to every weapon Titans: * Bottom Tree Solar + Path of the Burning Steps or Phoenix Cradle * Sentinal Shield + Ursa, Aeon Gauntlets Warlocks: * Stasis + Blea...

Updated ActiveRecord Code Generator

Today, I updated the ActiveRecord Code Generator a bit. I checked in changes to use primary and foreign key details from INFORMATION_SCHEMA. The original code used naming conventions to decide what various fields were used for - ID = Primary Key, Field_ID = Foreign Key to table Fields. If you want to use naming conventions, let me know and I can add a setting in App.Config to allow this (along with any "real" key constraints).

Castle Active Record Code Generator

I have finally released my Code Generator to Google Code as Active-Record-Gen . What does it generate? It generates ActiveRecord classes mainly, but I have used it to generate stored procedures and sys-admin scripts as well. This code generator does not (yet) generate a full Windows application project or a Mono-Rail web site, but the generated code could be used in either. In fact, with a few tweaks, this could be used to generate NHibernate "poco" and .xbm files. If you want to know more, look at the screen shots above, or head over to Google Code and run it. In my haste to make my first EXE release before supper, I forgot to add the Template directory, which should be at the same directory level as the EXE and config files. I just (1.5 hours later) uploaded a new EXE, but 2 people have already downloaded the EXE (not the source though). As for the basic table object, it is built with the following assumptions: Table name is plural, class name is singular. Field ...
