What is LLBLGen Pro?

LLBLGen Pro is a data-access solution.
You use the LLBLGen Pro Designer to create the entity/domain model, define the mappings and generate source-code for one of the four supported O/R mapping frameworks: Entity Framework, NHibernate, Linq to SQL or the LLBLGen Pro Runtime Framework.
You use the generated code combined with the O/R mapping framework of your choice to access your database and consume the data in that database. Learn more...

Support for the 4 main O/R mapper frameworks

The following ORM Frameworks are supported:

• Entity Framework (v1 (.NET 3.5 sp1), v4 (.NET 4), or v5 (.NET 4.5)
• NHibernate (using hbm mappings & Fluent NHibernate mappings)
• Linq to SQL
• LLBLGen Pro runtime framework

When, for whatever reason, you have to change the O/R mapper for your project, you can simply switch the chosen target framework in the LLBLGen Pro designer, re-generate code and you're done (give or take some minor changes if the newly chosen O/R mapper doesn't support a feature the old one does). Of course your own code has to be migrated, but your entity model, mappings and the like all stay the same.

Supported Databases

The LLBLGen Pro Designer supports the following relational databases. With every database system, the supported versions and which O/R mapper framework the database is supported on is specified.
