Nhibernate mapping generator that supports mapping by code from 3.2

Question

I am looking for an NHiberate mapping generator that can generate mapping by code rather than .xml or Fluent NHibernate.

I tried NHibernate Mapping Generator , but it has no validation. Thus, the existing mapping files might not 100% correct.

Devart Entity developer doesn't support this currently.

Any recommendations?

Well since you are asking for a suggestion, I can say by experience don't try to use a code generator. Such kind of approach fails when the project grow, you suddenly need to add some modifications and re-generating the entities would be a pain and so on. Try to read about ConventionalMapping . It is basically a strategy in building the mapping on the fly based on some conventions generally exists in a database table vs classes naming. I did this in past and with a little effort you will be able to concentrate just on the classes and completely forgot the mapping.
