CodeSmith is a template driven application which helps write boiler-plate code. I used to use CodeSmith to write my DAL and base BLL assemblies.
It will interrogate your SQL database and create all the SP's, the base DAL and BLL assemblies so all you have to do is build the custom business logic.
I guess Entity Framework and alike have removed some of the need for this tool. The advantage it has over EF is you can architect your own design and let CodeSmith write the code for you.

There always used to be. It looks like there still is a free version but it's not clear from there website. If you go to the downloads page you will see a version that is not included in the pricing

I agree. It seems like a trial version to me.

As CodeSmith is not free, you could always consider MyGeneration[^]

I used to play with this tool and also used it to generate classes and SQL scripts. Overall, its good.

It appears to be free for a short period, then you pay.
