.NET
ObjectDataSource, Object Nirvana
I've just started an ASP.NET 2.0 project and I have to say I'm very impressed with the ObjectDataSource control so far. I point this nifty little control at one of my service objects (plain objects, not web services as yet), specify the methods for insert, select, update, delete, tell it the type of business object to expect (optional I think), hook a GridView control up to it, and voila, everything is working. No code! You don't even have to specify the parameters for the CUD methods -- it will figure them out itself. I just have the business object as my sole parameter, but apparently it can also do properties as parameters if you prefer that instead.
