Is there a utility out there that will create VB.NET classes from a Dataset.xsd file? And I don’t mean like the XSD.exe utility does – all that does is convert the XML of an XSD file into classes in a .vb – it doesn’t append any ‘extended’ functionality.
I’m basically looking for something that will generate the beginnings of a business layer from the XSD file. Like creating a partial class for each datatable, then create a property for each of the datatable’s columns as the right datatype and finally the basically CRUD methods as well.
This is something I have to do manually over and over again for each project. (I do lots of little projects and use VistaDB so I can’t use Linq-To-SQL – wish I could)
I know this doesn’t strictly answer the question, but it looks like VistaDB either does, or will soon, have a provider that can be used with Linq to Entities – see here
