  2. Due to poor template editing inside vs (visualize blocks, search capability) I often edit template outside VS; However it is not reloaded when I go go back to VS as it happens with other files.

    It would be nice if implemented.

  3. This project for CSV manage is very popular :
    https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/

    but this is not working directly with DevArt code generation because of decorations during class generation.

    BUT the author as already think about it and here’s the solution to import a simple country class:

    public sealed class MyClassMap : ClassMap<Country>
    {
    public MyClassMap()
    {
    Map(m => m.Id);
    Map(m => m.Name);
    }
    }

    Since this code is database dependent, it should be updatable at the same time as the classes generated by EntityDeveloper

  4. Sometimes we just want to add/update some tables;
    Currently process for finding them is quite tedious as there is no shortcut for findeing them...
    Having a searchbox to define a filter criteria would help a lot (aslo being able to filter by status - add, update, remove)

  7. MySQL and Postgres standard naming convention uses snake casing, it would be essential to add a translator to translate to snake casing (database table name, database column name). Refer to forum post http://forums.devart.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=35171

  8. Good day to you,

    can you pls take a look at oracle views foreign key detection? Entity Developer correctly sets primary keys from views, but foreign keys are not detected/setted. We are using views in our project and we are trying to have them related so Entity Developer can generate relationships from PKs/FKs. Can you pls review this issue?

    Here is link to oracle documentation:

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_4004.htm#SQLRF01104

  9. As the entity model grows, it makes it more difficult to see the namespace organization of the classes in both Entity Developer and Visual Studio. Add support for:
    a) a namespace visual hierachy in Entity Developer. This can be either in the existing Class tree view or another tree view called Namespaces.
    b) Generating and presenting CSharp code in visual studio based on the namespace hierarchy. This includes both the files on disk and the visual presentation under the hbml (or other) file in Visual Studio.
    c) Knowing the root namespace defined in the model properties and organizing classes relative…

  10. EntityDeveloper has its own nuances. A better track of documentation and training material will be of great help for new comers.

    Tutorials Printed & Video, Sample Projects & Walkthroughs become invaluable time savers.

  11. As a starting point in my software development projects, I use Entity Developer to create conceptual models of the associated business entities. Next, I generate a database based on the conceptual model. I then use DevExpress ExpressApp Framework (XAF) to create an initial user interface for populating the database with the content which describes the business entities. I would like a code generation template to generate the XAF C# code for the business objects in the Entity Developer conceptual model.

  12. It would be nice to be able to generate SQL script from the model for multiple databases. Currently it is possible to replace the models connection, but having the option of choosing a target "dbms type" upon generation would allow us to discard external modelling tools.

    The ideal solution would contain multiple relational models to control type mappings etc, but it would probably suffice with an option as described above.

  13. It would really help if you implement few new properties in DbContext template (and maybe other but I work with that).

    1.Output directory for generated partial classes (if we want to create them)
    2. Set the filename of Context file (now model name and file name are same)
    3. Take into consideration "Model name as file prefix" also for context class as it is for entities

  15. When developing with several people on the same Windows machine, DbMonitor always shows all processes of all users.

    As it's impossible to identify the right one (when more than one starts the same application) it would be great to be able to see the "owner" (user account name) and to filter the processes by it. Special case here: show only my own ones.

  16. Debugging a multithreaded Ado.NET/EntityFramework application with DbMonitor is easier than without, but threads get mixed in the log and it's not possible to filter for a given thread (or I don't know how).

    One of the (or probably both) following features would help to make this much easier:

    1) Allow to Filter by StackTrace content: If I know which thread I am interested in I usually know the entrypoint method, which is a line in the stacktrace. As DbMonitor knows the stacktrace of any line t logs, filtering by stacktrace content would help to support this and probably additional usecases…

  17. When a process terminates in a dirty way (e.g. a visual studio software killed by "stop debugging", dbMonitor keeps the process in the process list. It's possible to clear the log, but the process remains and cannot be removed.
    This sounds useful as a default for "remove process", as usually a process that is still running may still be or become of interest again, but for processes that doesnt' exist any more it would reduce the necessity to restart dbMonitor every few hours.

    Maybe (although clearing the log should help even more), this would even support https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/38671-entity-developer/suggestions/12519276-fix-out-of-memory-exception-in-long-running-dbmoni and it may…

  18. DbMonitor is a highly valuable tool for us to support Sql debugging between .NET and an oracle database server.
    I would like to just keep it running in background to be able to see what happened in case of an error, without having to restart it again and again.

    Unfortunately dbMonitor seems to take as more and more memory while running up to a bad handling of Out-Of-Memory execeptions spamming the screen and not even allowing to cleanly shutdown the dbMonitor application (except by killing the process).

    It would be great to fix that, e.g. by auto-pruning process logs when…

  20. Now, that you can update model quite easy the only problem is the complex types, that are generated. There should be an option in update wizard to force execute selected stored procedure to get the result and check against current mapped complex type or you could force update for a selected procedure in Methods. Currently, its a big pain to update procedures, that have changed output. You have to hunt them down one by one and add them again. It should not be that complicated.
