Now it is time to generate some business entities from a model.

Suppose we have a simplified model with just one entity called Course. It has an unique identifier CourseID and a searchable and displayable attribute called CourseName.

To generate source code the model is injected into the following template.

The resulting generated code will look like this:

public class Course
{
    public int m_CourseID;
    public string m_CourseName;

    public int CourseID
    {
        get
        {
            return m_CourseID;
        }
        set
        {
            if (value != m_CourseID)
            {
                m_CourseID = value;
            }
        }
    }

    public string CourseName
    {
        get
        {
            return m_CourseName;
        }
        set
        {
            if (value != m_CourseName)
            {
                m_CourseName = value;
            }
        }
    }
}

That’s all.
