[dba-VB] Codesmith Woes

Where can I send VS 2005 project so we can get John's head
placed properly on his anatomy?

I have a simple one for both Win forms and Web forms. That uses
Codesmith with netTiers. Sorry, but you have to use both, my
opinion, for Codesmith to be usable for data layer stuff.

If you place code at the base level in the generated code, you
will always have the problem of it replace it.  There is a level
above that you have to put code into. It is never, at least they
say never, replaced.

John, everything has a learning curve. You just need to study
between midnight and 4 AM like I do to keep up with the changing
technology.  :-)
