CoNatural Components Visual Studio AddIn
Roger Torres - June 25th, 2009
This is just a quick note to let you know that today I uploaded the first functional version of the CoNatural Data Visual Studio AddIn to CodePlex (http://conatural.codeplex.com). The main feature is a wizard to import existing stored procedures as CoNatural Commands. Users will be able to select stored procedures from a data source, and apply naming conventions to generate commands in a folder structure.
I’m currently using this wizard in a project I’m migrating from regular ADO.NET with stored procedures to the CoNatural.Data framework. This client is very happy now that he doesn’t have to maintain stored procedures detached from the main source control system.
Note that this version only supports Visual Studio 2008 C# projects and the .NET 3.5 framework. The only data source supported is Sql Server 2005/2008.
[...] CoNatural announces that both their DAL and asynchronous framework have been published to CodePlex. They have also uploaded a Visual Studio plugin for migrating stored procedures as CoNatural commands. [...]
