CodeGenerator2005 (Sample Generated Application) by Doug On June 30, 2009
Hello Nesreen,

Would you be able to provide an example of a generated application using a simple database? I creating an empty .NET project in Visual Studio and copied the contents of the top-most generated folder to the new project. Unfortunately, I encountered a few compile errors. For example:

public class personDL : BaseDL,IDL
-> "The type or namespace name 'BaseDL' could not be found..."

Is it possible that BaseDL.cs is missing...? (same with IDL, Utilities, BaseBL, IBL)

Many thanks for all the hard work you've put into your code generator!

Regards,
--Doug

Re: CodeGenerator2005 (Sample Generated Application) by Nesreen On July 2, 2009

Hello orillia319

Thank you for your comment
-the base class (BaseDL ,IDL) are  just empty classes and empty interface
you can add it manual  or remove it from parent class text box so it will generate the classes without parent.
-remove using utilities (it's mistake)
-I uploaded  a Simple Ntier project 
 using the Generator with db .just attach the db and change connection string in web config

Thanks & Best Regards
Nesreeen
