A simple TSQL script to quickly generate c# POCO classes from SQL Server tables and views. You may tweak the output as needed. Not all datatypes are represented but this should save a bunch of boilerplate coding. USAGE: Run this query against the database of your choice. The script will loop through tables, views and their respective columns. Re…

That's a very good observation you made. I missed seeing that double type is not there in the logic.
