Frans, ever lookup LL on wikipedia? Thought you might like to take a look at it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLBLGen

LLBLGen is a simple open source tool for Object-relational mapping in .NET. Unlike many O/R mappers, LLBLGen works entirely through stored procedures; a Transact-SQL script is generated that defines a set of stored procedures when run, and the corresponding C# layer only accesses the database through the generated procedures.

LLBLGen is separate from LLBLGen Pro, which is a more powerful commercial offering from the same company. Since the release of LLBLGen Pro, LLBLGen is no longer in active development, the latest version v1.21.2003.712, being released on July 12, 2003.

I think that the entry is, indeed, accurate. My first brush with LLBLGen was the stored proc one. It worked wonderfully. LLBLGen Pro, however, was the commercial offering of the same open source project (LLBLGen). It was changed to use dynamic SQL rather than creating stored procedures. The first version, while great, is by far inferior to the current version as it allows greater flexibility with the current Dynamic Query Engine.

Yes there are two entries actually, one for the old stored proc generator and one for pro simple_smile I haven't looked at them in ages though (neither did anyone of us write the articles).
