Is there anything built into .Net or visual studio that will allow my to create classes based off of a MySql table. I guess I am talking about persistence. I just want the class to be a 1 to 1 mapping of the table. Does anything free exist?

maybe you need something like this:

select 'my_table' into @table; #table name

select 'my_database' into @schema; #database name

select concat('public class ',@table,'{') union

select concat('public ',tps.dest,' ',column_name,'{get;set;}') from information_schema.columns c

join( #datatypes mapping

select 'char' as orign ,'string' as dest union all

select 'varchar' ,'string' union all

select 'longtext' ,'string' union all

select 'datetime' ,'DateTime?' union all

select 'text' ,'string' union all

select 'bit' ,'int?' union all

select 'bigint' ,'int?' union all

select 'int' ,'int?' union all

select 'double' ,'double?' union all

select 'decimal' ,'double?' union all

select 'date' ,'DateTime?' union all

select 'tinyint' ,'bool?'

) tps on c.data_type like tps.orign

where table_schema=@schema and table_name=@table union

select '}';
