I think until someone comes out with something like VFE for .Net your best choice is to choose a framework and then use a template based code generator tool to create your entity/business objects and SP's.
Some good code genertors are

Also, Kathleen Dollard wrote a book on Code Generation for/with .Net that I am planning on getting.
At this point I am leaning on using a persistence layer for appllications which goes against the current main stream of using SP's for data access. However, the Java camp has been using this technique for quite a while with plenty of success. Unfortunatly MS has dropped there version of this (Object Spaces) from Whidbey... so, I have been investigating third party implementations.
