- Now you can build your NHibernate Data Access Layer with a first class designer build in the visual studio.
- Imagine that you have NHibernate Designer very likely to the Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL designer, how is your NHibernate development will be easier?
- Imagine that your model can be generated to NHibernate and to Entity Framework without changing any bit.
