Business Connectivity Services allows you to have a data source that is a .NET assembly. This makes the BCS and SharePoint 2010 a hugely powerful thing. But with this new power comes added configuration complexity in defining a BCS application definition and writing code. See how BCS Meta Man removes this time consuming task as it generates everything you need:
Advantages of using BCS Meta Man include
- a powerful no-code solution still possible for BCS
- all BCS model and code generated to allow developers to dig in and customize if needed
- unit tests generated for BCS methods to allow full code testing
