Yikes…it looks like this site comes up as the #2 hit on Google when searching for ‘codesmith templates’. :-)

I guess that means I should post some updates.  Since I posted the last update to my templates, I have made some changes to the generated code.  I need to go back and modify the templates.

Some of the things I’ve added are:
a) lazy loading
b) collections
c) transaction handling

Update (May 29, 2004): Added direct download link to my templates.
