LLBLGen Pro is an O/R mapper and code generator for the Microsoft .NET platform, created by Solutions Design bv. Computer programmers and software architects use this software to create a data-access tier and business objects tier in C# or VB.NET for several O/R mapping frameworks, like NHibernate, Entity Framework, Linq to SQL, and its own framework. Because LLBLGen Pro supports a lot of different databases to work with, software developers can choose the best framework and database per project.

In 2003, the popular open source tool LLBLGen was succeeded by this commercial Pro version. Solutions Design bv continued to work on improvements and feature additions, like Linq support and the ability to work both database-first and model-first. The current version 3.1 was released in February 2011.
LLBLGen Pro supports the following O/R mapper frameworks[1]
