Mono appears to have really come a log way since the last time I really used it. I'm interested in doing some ASP.Net development using Mono. I have used .netTiers/CodeSmith at work and really enjoy the speed with which code generation gives you a clean working data access layer. The question is has anybody used any code generation with Mono? I am open to learning something like SubSonic or NHibernate if those work better with Mono.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have used subsonic with mono. I've used it on mono 2.0, on which SubStage (GUI front end for subsonic ) does not work, but you can generate code using command line option. It works very well with mono. I don't find any problem while using SubSonic generated code in mono.
I have not NHibernate on mono. NHibernate is very complex, I tried to learn it, but give. While SubSonic is very easy, it take me less than 1hr to learn SubSonic.
If you are interested in Linq, I suggest to you give a try to DBLinq , DBLinq team is working with Mono team to implement Linq to Sql in Mono.
