Is "Visual Studio" the only tool that generates typed DataSet?

[A.M-SG]

Hi,

I am looking for a reliable alternatives for Visual Studio Typed DataSet
generator.
Do I have options other than VS2005 IDE for generating Typed DataSets?



I know that CodeSmith might the immediate answer, but could you referee me
to a specific and reliable code generator?



Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

You can use the commandline xsd.exe tool to do the same thing.

Thank you for reply.



Of course we have VS.NET related tools such as xsd and also
MSDataSetGenerator.



I was looking for some more features that VS.NET related tools don not
provide. For example VS.NET doesn't generate CRUID stored procedures for
Oracle data sources.

Yes, as I said in my post, CodeSmith is known for this sort of thing. Do you
know any specific reliable template for what I am trying to achieve?

From reading the thread farther, consider something like LLBLGen Pro
(www.llblgen.com). It will gen both the sprocs and the objects. Nice, simple
ORM.

There is a free version, as well (http://www.sd.nl/software/) with fewer
features.

AFAIK CodeSmith comes with a strong typed dataset generator.
Or you can create your own template, of course.
You might also check their "template share" forum.
