.NET gurus will love this

I have this .NET project i'm working on and found this awesome tool called gDal for creating a data access layer. Anyway, I bought it and I was able to enter enough information into the program to generate 3500 lines of code in less than an hour. I can't even estimate how much time that saved me. At least a week. Anyone know of any other awesome tools for .NET?

Curious: how much .net work is out there these days?

How much was it and what kind of code does it write?

put out $150 for it. the project i'm doing is in asp.net. from my experience, most web apps beyond just static pages require some interaction with a database. however, its a real pain writing all the code to call all those stored procedures. typically what you do is construct a data access layer with sets of classes that contain methods that essentially "wrap" the stored procedures. that way you construct a data api for yourself that makes it much easier to ensure high performing code and to maintain the code. the biggest thing is that it promotes code reuse since all the data methods are in one place. the program gDal helps create this kind of code. code generation doesn't solve all the problems all the time, but it worked for me.

i think you'll see a lot of new development projects that are for web apps using .net for companies that use the microsoft product stack. asp.net is just SO much better than the alternative.
