I am switching a repository layer from linq to dapper. In linq, I can use the SqlMetal.exe tool to generate the database entities and relationships. Is there a tool or utility that will generate POCO entities for dapper?

Dapper does not have a model generator, it acts as extension on your current IDBConnection.
You could use any other tool to generate the POCO's though. All Dapper needs is a class matching its public properties with your db columns.

I did find the EF 4.x POCO Entity Generator for c#. Will this work? – user1790300 Apr 28 '13 at 15:28

As mentioned, it doesn't matter how you generate your pocos. Dapper doesn't require any attribute-tagging etc. The properties just have to match with name / data type to your db columns. – Alex Apr 28 '13 at 20:01
