Hello,

Is there, somewhere on the web some nhibernate templates projects for Visual Studio 2008 ?

The template project could:
- add a reference to nhibernate.dll
- add an app.config file with a nhibernate section.
- add a maping file as embedded resource.

Related to this, has anyone discussed putting together a Guidance Automation Package to cover common NHibernate tasks, like adding a mapping document for a class? It would be great if a command to add the mapping document for a class presented a dialog with a list of properties already defined for that class so I could select which ones to map. I'm sure I'd have to go tweak the attributes by hand, but a simple IDE tool like that would save a lot of time.

It is possible to generate a mapping file from a table of the database thanks to CodeSmith. I would be nice to have the possibility to do the same from the business layer as explained in this post : http://community.codesmithtools.com/forums/t/7453.aspx

I think it would be nice to have a Visual Studio plugin that allow to graphically bind the properties of a class to the fields of a table. Under that, a mapping file would be generated. That could save much time even if we have to do some modification in the xml after that... Let me know if such a tool exists. ;-)
