I was using a private SVN for ActiveWriter and thanks to Hammet, the source is now available through Castle Contrib Repository.
Having source on an open repository is great. AW now has it's own Ohloh page :)
  • Codebase: 27,938 LOC (Most of them generated by DSL Tools, actually:)
  • Effort (est.): 7 Person Years
  • Project Cost: $362,806
I feel good! :)

Can't wait to start working on it! It's a whole new world to explore there. Keep up the good work!

Is the latest Binaries on this link here http://altinoren.com/activewriter/ where you have a 'download link', or do I get the latest then from Castle Contrib? (I'm just wanting to try the tool, just need latest binaries)

Thanks!

Nope. The download there is older. Wait till tomorrow, though :)

Thank you.

I tried it today.

I did get some duplicate property names in places.

However, the one thing I would like to ask for: The database design has both System.Guid's for ID's, as well as DateTimes - but that have instances where they are nullable.

When you generate, if you see that a uniqueidentifier is null that it produces field/property of Nullable System.Guid and set it's default value to null ? Same with DateTime ?

Great stuff, thank you for your work!

Actually, I noticed the not null - we'll see it works :)

I have some tables that don't have primary keys on them

I did have to comment out this:

//[CompositeKey()]
[Serializable()]
public partial class PlanEmployeeDetailsCompositeKey {

it gave an error : "Error 16 Attribute 'CompositeKey' is not valid on this declaration type. It is valid on 'property, indexer' declarations only. D:\ActiveWriter\ActiveWriterTest\ActiveWriter2.cs 1071 6 ActiveWriterTest
"

Just FYI

Should I use the Castle Forum for feedback, or do you have a place you'd like feedback ?

Great work!

Compositekey thing should be OK for the trunk. AR CompositeKey support changed to be placed on Properties only, I think you use AR from Castle trunk so ActiveWriter trunk code reflects this change.

ActiveWriter is a contrib project so please don't use Castle Forums, it's for main trunk support. You may try mailing me (gokhan at altinoren.com).

fyi: I don't have/use the trunk, only the msi install (RC2?)
