Visual designer and code generator for NHibernate and ActiveRecord. Best practices, utility code, and extensibility make development fast and easy. Quickly visualize and generate a persistence layer, utilizing the full power of the NHibernate ORM.

FEATURES:

General:
· Graphically view and manipulate your database model.
· Excellent support for model-first development.
· Used successfully in $100k+ projects.
· Update your code, objects, and database to reflect model changes with just one button.
· Turns the longest and most tedious part of object relational mapping into the fastest and easiest.
· Works alongside any IDE (Ex. Visual Studio, SharpDevelop, MonoDevelop).
· Prevents common mistakes (For example, setting the Inverse flags improperly).
· Take advantage of our years of NHibernate experience in helping you build your application.

Generated Code Customization:
· Regenerate the code without breaking your customizations to the data objects.
· Use partial classes to add your own code.
· Easily override properties to add your own behavior (supports double derived classes).
· Even add your own construction methods (using PartialClassInitializer) that work alongside generated constructor.

Relationships:
· Many to many, many to one, and one to one relationships are supported.
· Automatic bi-directional relationship support.
· Alows you to use the same code against either the original or the augmented entities. For example, your user assembly would still work transparently with the new user that has a link to the customer order.
· No special runtime hacks or build processing steps required. Accomplished entirely through code generation.

Inheritance:
· Supports inheritance between classes.
· Inheritance even works between different models.
· Model properties can override user-specified base class properties if needed.

Model Reuse:
· Existing models can be included for use within other models. For example, you can nest a model that handles users and permissions in your application's main data model.
· You can add relationships and properties to nested models without affecting the original model. For example, you could link a "customer order" table to a "user" and you'd even be able to traverse from the user back to the order.
· Alows you to use the same code against either the original or the augmented entities. For example, your user assembly would still work transparently with the new user that has a link to the customer order.
· No special runtime hacks or build processing steps required. Accomplished entirely through code generation.
