Fluent NHibernate Visual Designer [closed]

Question

Is there a visual designer similar to Mindscape's NHibernate designer for Fluent NHibernate?

I have decided to move from EF4 to NH3, but without a visual design interface it is going to be a hard sell to my team who are used to the EF4 model creation interface.

Answer 1

Devart Entity Developer for NHibernate provides full support for Fluent NHibernate mapping. It supports all kinds of components, inheritances, composite IDs, etc.

I have just stumbled upon another tool called Visual NHibernate. Check it out here: http://www.slyce.com/VisualNHibernate/

According to the website it supports and generates Fluent Mapping.

Answer 4

I've only heard of Mindscape's NHibernate Designer and Visual NHibernate. It looks like the latter provides support for Fluent NHibernate mappings.

Answer 5

There is Open Source tool to generate mapings from DB Schema - NHibernate Mapping Generator

Answer 6

Mindscape NHibernate Designer does not currently support generating Fluent NH mappings, that is correct.
