thanks for your attention and time,

Kindly guide me how I can generate fields and properties of an class (modeling an entity from database). I saw once a video doing this without any third party tool

Please help me on this.

Look into the Entity Framework that is part of .NET.  MSDN has all the documentation and tutorial videos.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb399572.aspx

Actually, the question could be considered IDE related as the IDE provides a typed DataSet editor for ADO.NET, which is probably what the video the OP was refering to showed.

A google of "typed dataset tutorial" produced this:

We use LLBLGen Pro. Great tool, and in my opinion better than the entity framework.
