can this coding be automated???

[Jeff]

Hey

..NET 2.0
I'm on a project where I'm now about to develop the Data Access Layer. The
database have 300 stored procedures. I'm about to go on a time consuming
process of writing the .NET code which calls all these stored procedures.
Each stored procedure should get it's own method in the Data Acess Layer..

can this be automated, so for example VS2005 generates the code
automatically? any links about it?

I hope this can be automated a bit, so it can save me time....

all suggestions are welcome :)

If you're talking about automating the code writing you could always
cheat and code a loop through each of the stored procedures from one
of the system tables that will write the syntax of a function to a
textfile then copy the text into the editor.

Strongly typed datasets will give you a DAL pretty rapidly. Check out

Or, even better, you could use the classes in the System.CodeDom
namespace to generate the code structure for you.

You can also create an instance of the MSDataSetGenera tor class in the
assemblies in the VS.NET IDE directory. You can use those to generate the
code wrappers for the stored procedures yourself.

CodeSmith is your friend. It'll do exactly what you described...

Take a look at the Repository Factory. You can find it on Codeplex.com here:

Subsonic is all the rage now. I believe that will help you out.

Personally I use the ADO.NET Code Generator by Robbe Morris (Google it).
It's on eggheadcafe and it works great. The source code is included. It
will generate base classes, interfaces, as well as stored procedures.

I know you said .NET 2.0, but just for reference; looking ahead a few
weeks, LINQ-to-SQL does exactly this (limited to SQL Server).
Advantages: app part of standard VS toolkit; get to play with LINQ;
Disadvantages: maybe not as feature rich as some others.
