NHibernate Mapping Generator

I`m a ******* idiot (and you are as well if you did like me) for not using this before.



Have fun!

This is only good if you've already designed your database. I'd rather create the mapping files (and design the database) manually and then have NHibernate generate the database tables automatically.

Yeah, I`m currently porting a PHP backend to .NET and this is my case, I ported the whole DB related stuff in half an hour with this little thing here. Although I do share your point of view.

I remember finding this the first time I implemented .NET Hibernate and was exploring the library. I considered implementing it, but I like the control. It usually lets me catch problems early on, like if I accidentally delete the health column when making a new column, I wrote the map file and so it catches the problem (since it's not generated). I also document the files.
