• Primary key is automatically detected for each table.
• Composite primary key is supported.
• Nullable columns have been handled.
• Auto Increment column has been handled.

Updates History

Update 1 (Version 1.1):
Upgraded the app to .Net 4.6.1.

Generated Code:

• VB.Net Class: For each table one VB.Net class is created that contains all columns of the table as properties.
• Add Method: It is an instance method. It adds a new record to the relevant table. Nullable columns have been handled properly. Auto increment and timestamp columns are skipped while inserting a record. Relevant property of the auto increment column is populated after record is inserted.
• Update Method: It is an instance method. It updates an existing record. Auto increment and timestamp columns are skipped while updating a record.
• Delete Method: It is a shared method. It deletes an existing record. It takes primary key columns values as parameters.
• Get Method: It is a shared method. It gets an existing record (an instance of the class is created and all properties are populated). It takes primary key columns values as parameters.
• GetAll Method: It is a shared method. It gets all records of the relevant table. You can also specify search columns. If sorting/pagination is enabled then the relevant code will also be generated.
