[dba-VB] Does anyone have

It's wonderful for quickly regenerating a data tier after schema
changes, but we had to tweak the template to make sure it didn't throw
away the business rules we had added to our data entity classes.  It's
very handy for generating the typeddatasets and basic NUnit tests
though.

And that is precisely my main complaint.  I watched the demo and
codesmith generated SIX PROJECTS with tens of thousands of lines of code
in HUNDREDS of modules.  Now what do I do when something doesn't work?
I didn't write the modules, nor the code.

Maybe, but while we use CodeSmith, we hand program around it.  If we
didn't understand the concepts and how to implement them without the
tools, that wouldn't be possible.

For a less steep learning curve, use CodeSmith Tools and .netTiers. Give
you a great data layer. Think of it as Access on steroids as far as the
DAO layer in it is concerned.
