The "drag and drop" stuff is for RAPID development.

When it comes to Good or Maintainble development, the drop and drag
stuff,.... is el-stinko in my book.
aka, RAPID != to Good/Maintainable

...

The best thing to me is to create your own code, but to piggyback off of the
EnterpriseLibrary.Data or DAAB 2.0 libraries.

See http://sholliday.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!A68482B9628A842A!140.entry
for an example.
