This release contains the source code at the completion of the patterns & practices work on this project.
This release corresponds to source code change set 10107.
The work done includes:
- Independent of Service Factory tree
- Generic code has been moved into a separate assembly instead of being generated every time
- Generated code has been placed in different folders to keep the underlying goop out of the way
- Interfaces are generated for the repositories, so you can provide multiple implementations of the repository
- Auto-mapping of entity fields and stored proc parameters
- Recipe inputs are stored across runs so you don't have to reenter everything every time you run
- New, easier to use and understand UI screens
and many other additions.
