For what it's worth, if your in a hurry, try our product, it's Free. Basically, you launch our product, connect to your database and we'll spit out fully functional VB.NET or C# data/business entities using your database meta-data as the input. These objects (classes) do mostly everything that you need to do in a typical application. The advice below is good, and I would add one thing. How long will it (the application) be around and how hard will it be to maintain.
