our team is looking to use a code generation tool for the current sharepoint application we are working on. We want to be able to generate most of the stored procedures and business entities instead of having to write them from scratch. Any recommendation what is the best code generation tool to use with sharepoint projects. I am familiar with CodeSmith, but I wasn't sure if there are any better solutions out there for this.

If you want to talk to a custom database through a generated Data Access Layer, I would say go for the ADO.NET Entity Framework (works with VS2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 only though. A custom solution would be LLBLGen Pro

Code generation is not really necessary for SharePoint, all the code is generated in the SharePoint .NET Libraries.
The formulation of your question implies quite serious misunderstandings about SharePoint and it's use of databases.
