Interesting topic Murray, I just wish you were a bit more expository. It looks like you went to the PowerPoint school of writing. :P

Sorry, I was just writing down some of my notes. I will add some more when I have time. Thanks for the feedback though

Mur - funny thing you mentioned that. NOt sure if you are familiar with LLBLGenPro or Deklarit - both are Code Generators/ORM Tools. Pretty close with the guys that make both of them and ORM is definitely something I get pretty impressed with. ALso, Kathleen Dollard wrote a book on Code Generation in .NET. HIGHLY recommended if you're in to the subject. I *may* have a book coming out that covers Code Generation and Creating/Manipulating Templates in VS2005 - I'll keep you posted.
