I'm working with Slverlight projects and for the UI, I use Blend. In Blend3, they came up with a new feature that prompted me to ask a question from the makers of an ORM system. In Blend3, in order to prototype a UI, you don't need to have a database tables available, you can actually create dummy fields (with proper types) for your UI and **Blend3 will create instant data (randomly) for all the fields, as if you were connected to database **in order to show your UI.

Would it be possible with your version 3 to create a model first, test it write code (validations, business rules, authorization interceptors and etc) against it and once it's complete, then have your system to create, let's say SQL2008 database structure? But this question raises the real question that I wanted to post. As part of the ability to create the model (let's say yes we can do that with V3), would it be possible when you create the model, LLBLGen Pro will also create dummy data (could be stored in XML file) that at least the app can use and test it and be able to create UI, and when it's done, turn around and build the structure?

I think this would save so much time from changing database and code generated by ORM systems.

What do you think of these two combined ideas? ..Ben
