OK, just wanted to update you guys. I was trying to fix the problem I have with LLBLGen where it always capitalizes the first character of your fields (as per Microsoft best practices) regardless of what settings you choose.

Anyway, I bought LLBLGen today and downloaded the SDK. Only took me around 30 minutes to write a plug-in that renamed all the fields on an entity for me.

I just ran it across all my entities and now they are all perfect. (Well, they fit my organization's naming standards...)

If anyone wants the example source for this, written in VB.NET (2005) then just reply and I'll put it up somewhere.

I think things like this are great. Write a text file on what it does, how to use, etc and email it to support at llblgen dot com.

They normally take a look at it and upload it to the "3rd party" section in the downloads.

Did you set the MakeElementNamePascalCasing property to false in the Project Properties?

Please note that changing the properties in the "LLBLGen Pro Preferences" will only affect newly created projects. To modify these properties on an existing project use the "Project Properties"

If you'd like, we can put it up on the 3rd party section as Wayne described simple_smile

Walaa: Yes I did. I don't want to restart the mini flame-war I started in the other thread - but basically LLBLGen ALWAYS capitalizes the first letter of your property names, regardless of settings simple_smile
