5.2 Generating Your Data-Access Layer with Codus
Data-access layers are responsible for the mundane task of retrieving data from and saving data to databases. Any complicated business rules are restricted to the business layer, and the UI logic is all in the presentation layer. This makes data-access-layer code repetitive, predictable, and often painful to write—and a prime candidate for code generation.
Codus is an application that will quickly and easily generate a complete data-access layer for you, including entities, data-access objects, and even NUnit tests. It does not try to be an all-encompassing code-generation solution, but rather focuses on one particular area of the application—data access—and does it quite well.
