TSQL snippet: table to .Net class generator

  • Heres a snippet for generating a VB.net class from a table, just replace the target table name

    just a few tweaks and you can generate one for C# :hehe:

    cheers!

    declare @field table (fieldname varchar(50), fieldtype varchar(50))

    declare @table_name varchar(50)

    set @table_name = 'TargetTable' -- this is the table name

    insert into @field

    Select sc.name, st.name

    from

    sysobjects so,

    syscolumns sc,

    systypes st

    where

    so.id = sc.id

    and so.xtype = 'U'

    and so.name = @table_name

    and st.xtype = sc.xtype

    print 'Public Class ' + @table_name

    declare @fieldname varchar(50)

    declare @fieldtype varchar(50)

    declare @constructor varchar(500)

    declare @assign varchar(500)

    declare cur cursor for

    select fieldname, fieldtype

    from @field

    open cur

    fetch next from cur

    into @fieldname, @fieldtype

    set @constructor = ''

    set @assign = ''

    while @@fetch_status = 0

    begin

    set @fieldtype = case @fieldtype

    when 'int' then 'Int32'

    when 'tinyint' then 'Int32'

    when 'varchar' then 'String'

    when 'bit' then 'Boolean'

    when 'float' then 'Double'

    when 'datetime' then 'Datetime'

    else @fieldtype

    end

    set @constructor = @constructor + 'ByVal v' + @fieldname + ' AS ' + @fieldtype + ', '

    set @assign = @assign + '_' + @fieldname + ' = v' + @fieldname + ' : '

    print ''

    print 'Private _' + @fieldname + ' AS ' + @fieldtype

    print 'Public Property ' + @fieldname + '() AS ' + @fieldtype

    print ' Get'

    print ' return _' + @fieldname

    print ' End Get'

    print ' Set (value AS ' + @fieldtype + ')'

    print ' _' + @fieldname + ' = value'

    print ' End Set'

    print 'End Property'

    print ''

    fetch next from cur

    into @fieldname, @fieldtype

    end

    print 'Public Sub New(' + substring(@constructor, 0, len(@constructor)) + ')'

    print ' ' + substring(@assign, 0, len(@assign) -1)

    print 'End Sub'

    print 'End Class'


    slow down when you need to hurry, stop when you need to move on,
    look back when you need to forget, or you might slip and leave sanity

  • nice article... tnx

  • Make sure you post this to the site script library and note it a bit better. As well you should do one for C# to ensure your work is credited.

  • Here is a vesion without any Cursors:

  • This script is great:D:D I'm beside myself with joy

    Below is my first attempt at posting here or anywhere on the net so be kind.

    I've converted the vb code to csharpe and it works for me. Thanks to all for their involvment in doing these things that help others.

  • Oh my god, I love you!

  • Awesome!! Thank-you so much. Staring at Linq all day was giving me a headache.
