Hi

Are there any code generators that help reduce the code that needs to be
written for an ado.net/winform app? Any recommendations would be
appreciated.

Many Thanks

Regards

John,

Open in Solution Add New Item, then there are opened a lot of code
generators.

As you don't want to program in a DotNet language, then simply use something
as MS Access

Yes. They are called programmers ;-)

I'd warmly recommend (not free) CodeSmith (www.codesmithtools.com).
Other than that there are other free ones plus Visual Studio has built in
T-4 code generator (http://tinyurl.com/4efgt7)

If you use the DataSet wizard (* and your repository is one of the
supported Dbs *) then there's a fair amount of code generated for you
to take care of Db access, table setup, etc. The IDE (even the Express
version) will go as far as to create specific controls for you when
you drag a field/table to the form, but I don't think it will go much
beyoind that.

(in other words, I'd be glad to hear about some suggestions, too --
free ones, if at all possible possible)

Regards,

Branco.

off the top out of the box :
dataset ( designer )
linq2sql ( designer )
entity framework
dynamic data
