There are a lot of Sql table -> C# class methodologies, but I’m looking for the reverse.
Hypothetical situation:
I have N classes populated by some web service I consume, manipulate, then preform an action on. Now the boss wants said web service data persisted in a database.
I already have the classes defined, how can I quickly and easily (aka, lazily) generate a sql table off of each class?
Entity Framework and nHibernate both allow you to use them in “code-first” mode, which involves writing classes then generating databases.
There is a walk-through of this on ScottGu’s blog here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/16/code-first-development-with-entity-framework-4.aspx
