I'm considering buying CodeSmith.

1) Do CSLA v2 templates come with it?

2) Are they any good, or will they require lots of work?

If "not that good", then

2a) Are there better ones availabe and where are they?

3) What percentage of the basic code will it handle, using the Project Tracker application as a sample?

3a) Project?

3b) Projects?

3c) ProjectResource?

3d) ProjectResources?

3e) Assignment?

Hi,

I've been using it for a couple weeks (both CSLA and CodeSmith), so I'm not really qualified to give a good recommendation yet. I'm still using the evaluation version, but am probably going to purchase it.

You should check out the trial version, then download the CSLA 2 templates here:

I haven't had any issues with the code generated, but it is a little different than the book.
