What alternatives exist for Data Generation Plans for Visual Studio Express users?

Question

I'm wondering if there is a good option for those of us using Express (or even Professional) editions without having to go outside the Visual Studio project (i.e. writing a ruby/perl/etc script to populate test/seed data).

If it helps I'm working on a C# .NET MVC 2 app within MS Web Developer 2010.

Answer 1

nBuilder

What is it?

Through a fluent, extensible interface, NBuilder allows you to rapidly create test data, automatically assigning values to properties and public fields that are of type of the built in .NET data types (e.g. ints and strings). NBuilder allows you to override for properties you are interested in using lambda expressions.

NBuilder is an open source project, hosted on google code

There is an episode of the Polymorphic Podcast featuring a discussion with the creator of nBuilder.
