I don't know of anyone who has started working on a configurator. After I've designed my database for a project, I use one of the programs that comes with Paul Wilson's OR Mapper to generate my C# classes for the database. You give the program a connection string and it creates Plain Old C# Objects for all the tables in the database. I usually design the non-trivial queries in Enterprise Manager and copy them into my sql map files. I think people would find a WinForm based sqlMap generator useful. There is also the CodeSmith template approach and/or some sort of NVelovity (I think the Castle people made a fork...is it called something else?) templating. I'm not familiar with the Configuration Application Block but wouldn't it be overkill to require users to install an "enterprise library" type application just to create a few simple-ish xml files?
