TierDeveloper helps you develop real-life complex .NET
database application in record times. TierDeveloper does
this by letting you map objects to relational databases,
put power SQL and business rules in them, and generate
fully working code instantly. TierDeveloper also generates
an ASP.NET application to either let you test the
generated objects or to use as a powerful admin
application.

Some of the main benefits of using TierDeveloper are

-- Speed up .NET Development: 50% of your code is
generated instantly.

-- Improve Code Quality: All generated code is consistent
and based on a design pattern.

-- Reduce Testing Effort: All generated code is based on
pre-tested templates.

Build Real-Life Complex .NET Applications
TierDeveloper is a powerful object-to-relational mapping
tool and provides a rich set of features. You can develop
real-life complex applications on top of the code
generated by TierDeveloper. Some of the features that are
critical for any real-life application are:
 

Object Mapping: TierDeveloper lets you map objects to
single or multiple tables. You can select which columns
you want to map as object-attributes, rename object
attributes to fit your coding conventions, specify read-
only columns, and much more.

Queries: You can define queries as methods to your
objects. These methods return collection of objects and
give you a truly object oriented view of your database.
Queries can contain complex SQL with joins, nested
queries, unions, and much more.

Relationships: Handle 1-1 and 1-n relationships easily in
your mappings. Your database relationships are represented
as object relationships in your application. You can also
define queries on these relationships.

Stored Procedure Calls: You can define an object method to
call a stored procedure. This allows you to use your
legacy stored procedures (or new ones) and access them in
a nice object interface as methods.

Parent/Child Relationships: Define a 1-1 or 1-n
parent/child relationship and TierDeveloper generates code
to handle is correctly. Parent object manages life-cycle
of its children.

Custom Operations: Many times, your application wants to
load or update only a few columns in the table to boost
performance . You can use custom operations for this
purpose.

Bulk Operations: Define object methods to perform bulk
updates and deletes in your database.

Custom Hooks: Customize the behavior of the generated code
in hooks so it is preserved the next time you generate
code.

Web Services: If you're developing distributed service-
oriented applications, you'll love TierDeveloper. You can
define web services for your generated objects and use
them from remote applications.

 
Powerful ASP.NET Application
TierDevleoper not only lets you generate your business and
data objects, it also generates a powerful ASP.NET
application. Although, the main purpose of this
application is to let you test all the generated code, it
is also an extremely useful as an admin application in
many situations. This saves you a great deal of effort
developing an admin application by hand.
  
    
Windows Form Application
TierDevleoper also generates a Windows Forms application
that is similar to the ASP.NET application in all its
features. You can generate a client/server Windows Forms
application and embed .NET components inside the Windows
Forms application. Or, you can generate a Remote Client
Windows Forms application and make remote calls to .NET
components through their web services interface that
TierDeveloper has generated. Either way, you have a great-
looking Windows Forms application to use either as a real-
life application.
