A series of posts about NHibernate tooling
time to read 1 min | 78 words
I intend to write a series of posts about NHibernate tooling, and I thought that before I start, I should ask people to point me to tools that I might not be familiar with.
Tools that are currently on the list to post about:
- LLBLGen 3.0
- Pleasant Modeler
- Active Writer
- NHibernate Query Analyzer
Any others that you’ll like me to check out?

Maybe look at CodeSmith? I have never used it, but it's referred to regularly. Some other code generation tools are suggested here: stackoverflow.com/.../nhibernate-code-generation
Glad to see NHibernate Query Analyzer (NHQA) on your list. Funny coincidence to see it since I just used NHQA this very week for the first time in over TWO years!
I always felt it was a powerful tool that was often overlooked (or neglected) by the general NHibernate community (including perhaps even yourself?),
I'm extremely interested what your current view on it.
Maybe you should take a look at the GenWise Software Factory and Visual NHibernate
If you run into things you have questions about wrt llblgen pro, just let me know (email is fine). :)
One limitation we currently have with respect to nhibernate (lack of pure m:n support) is solved soon (coming weeks).

Especially the NHibernate Mold.
I agree with @Belvasis above. You really should take a look at Visual NHibernate.
Perfect-I'm just starting with NHibernate!
Have you heard of this wonderful profiling tool? It's called "NHibernate profiler" if I'm not mistaken...
:-)
Visual NHibernate deserves indeed some attention. It looks very promising.
Visual NHibernate (VNH) definitely deserves attention. Of all these products, I only know Active Writer, but VNH is great. It supports HBM and Fluent-based configurations (including reverse-engineering of existing projects), can include NHibernate Validator attributes for domain validation and, in the latest betas, has a very nice templating engine, which one can use to customize entities, components, etc.

hbm2net / db2hbm from the NHForge downloads
How about using MyGeneration - Code Generation, O/R Mapping, and Architectures Tool to generate NHibernate Data Layer consisting of the classes and the mapping.
I can provide the template that I use to point at SQL Server and then generate vs project of the classes and mappings from existing Sql Server Tables.
Template is from Summer of NHiberante Screen cast.
