[dba-VB] Codesmith Woes

You may send it directly to me, attached to an email.  If it is large I can
create an FTP user / password for you to upload it to my web site.

I went back to Codesmith's web site and asked for a THIRD password and that
one works.  So I am now able to log in and download the docs and stuff. 

As for getting my head properly placed on my anatomy, better folks than you
have tried and failed.  ;-)

And finally as for midnight to 4... at my age I am finding it difficult to
do that any more.  Besides which I am back up at 7 to get the kids ready for
school, and by the time I am done with that I have clients calling...

Oh well.

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.  :-)
