Source Cutter

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Razor Source
Latest version: 3.0
Description: Source code generator for VB.NET, C#, and Java.
Source Cutter generates object to relational mappings via a data access layer, and also produces presentation layer logic by creating web pages and Windows forms for the data access layer. Source Cutter can build Web or Windows-based solutions using metadata obtained from any major database (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, Access, etc.).
Source Cutter also provides template based extensibility. By modifying the existing templates or creating your own templates you can alter the source code generated. The markup language used by the templates is similar to ASP or JSP-based scripting.
The JSP Generators come with freely redistributable JSP custom tags.

ADO.NET Express

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Pharaoh Software
Latest version: 1.2.0
Description: Add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2003 that generates class methods for calling stored procedures and executing common types of SQL statements.
ADO.NET Express looks similar to Server Explorer. You can add database connections and browse schema objects such as tables and stored procedures. You can right click on a schema object to generate ADO.NET code for this object. For example, you can right-click on a stored procedure and generate a C# method that executes this stored procedure and returns a DataReader. ADO.NET Express has a variety of options for generating code that cover most of the common data access scenarios.
Features include:
- Code generation in C# and VB.NET.
- Support for SQL Server and Oracle.
- Common SQL statements can be generated for tables, foreign keys and views.
- Method is generated with typed parameters that correspond to stored procedure parameters.
- Support for output and input/output parameters for stored procedures.
- Support for transactions.
- Generated code can be used as a template for modification.

DBMethods

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Atif Aziz
Latest version: 1.0.3910
Description: Library that allows you to express parameterized SQL and stored procedures as managed code functions in your language of choice (C#, VB.NET, J# and others) using the .NET Framework.
Just as Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) allows you to call unmanaged code APIs in platform libraries (DLLs) by supplying a compatible method definition in managed code, DBMethods allows you to call stored procedures and parameterized SQL in a database by defining a compatible method definition in managed code.
Unlike many products already on the market, DBMethods does not rely on templates or scriptable code generators. Instead, it makes use of the innovative features of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) like metadata, reflection services, custom attributes and dynamic code emission.

tangible architect

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: tangible engineering
Latest version: 2.0
Description: Generates the object-oriented database access layer of the application and its database schema from within Visual Studio.
The object model's specification can be defined in code by means of attributed C# interfaces, use of wizards or by means of an UML model. The object model and database schema can be modified using the integrated object model browser. Code changes can be synchronized to the UML model using round-trip engineering.
The generated object model realizes a connection-oriented architecture with a pessimistic locking strategy. It is optimized for data-bound controls. The object-oriented database browser adds additional value to the product.

DatabaseClient

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: SP extreme
Latest version: 1.2
Description: Set of objects providing wrappers for standard database calls.

DatabaseClient includes two objects:
- DatabaseWrapper: used to create a database connection and make SQL calls to any database using either a query or non-query based call. The wrapper also supports scalar calls. It was designed so that all the database calls incur no more overhead than directly interacting with the standard database provider methods.
- DatabaseHelper: contains a set of static methods to obtain the data you require from your database. The set of methods provide all of the same database interactions as DatabaseWrapper.

Features include:
- Supports SQL Server, Oracle, OLEDB, and ODBC.
- Supports standard database calls (ExecuteQuery, ExecuteNonQuery, ExecuteScalar).
- Returns queried data in a DataSet.
- Ability to define the connection string in the web.config file.
- Separates database interactions from your code.
