Visual Studio Custom Tool
Stand-alone Code Generator Application
Target platform
Currently there are only 2 supported platforms:
- .NET Full and Compact Framework - Generates entity and data access code that implements the repository pattern
- Windows Phone 7 "Mango" - Generates a LINQ to SQL Data Context that targets the Windows Phone 7 "Mango" platform
Changing the target platform can be done through the
Options ->
Target menu under
Tools.
Unit Tests
The stand-alone application supports generating unit tests that target multiple test frameworks. It currently supports 3 different unit test frameworks: MSTest, NUnit, and xUnit. Changing the targeted unit test framework can be done through the
Options ->
Test Framework menu under
Tools. A set of mock repository implementation is also generated in case the developer wishes not to use a mocking framework
Note: Unit test code generation is not supported when targeting Windows Phone 7 "Mango".
