LLBLGen Pro v3.0 has been released!

After two years of hard work we released v3.0 of LLBLGen Pro today! V3.0 comes with a completely new designer which has been developed from the ground up for .NET 3.5 and higher. Below I'll briefly mention some highlights of this new release:

Entity Framework (v1 & v4) support
NHibernate support (hbm.xml mappings & FluentNHibernate mappings)
Linq to SQL support
Allows both Model first and Database first development, or a mixture of both
.NET 4.0 support
Model views
Grouping of project elements
Linq-based project search
Value Type (DDD) support
Multiple Database types in single project
XML based project file
Integrated template editor
Relational Model Data management
Flexible attribute declaration for code generation, no more buddy classes needed
Fine-grained project validation
Update / Create DDL SQL scripts
Fast Text-DSL based Quick mode
Powerful text-DSL based Quick Model functionality
Per target framework extensible settings framework
much much more...
Of course we still support our own O/R mapper framework: LLBLGen Pro v3.0 Runtime framework as well, which was updated with some minor features and was upgraded to use the DbProviderFactory system. Please watch the videos of the designer (more to come very soon!) to see some aspects of the new designer in action.
