displayName-attribute for extended properties in code generator
If I define an extended property with name "GetAllEntitiesControllerAllowedForRoles" this is shown in IDE as "Get All Entities Controller Allowed For Roles" but I would like it to be shown as "GetAllEntities-Controller allowed for which roles". So it would be nice to have a displayName-attribute like in "normal" properties.

Add automated rename feature
A few of our class names come out of the regenerate model needing slight changes. Give the user the ability to add mapping of generated name to the name they want to use. And give the user the ability to save this mapping to a file where they choose. Every time I regenerate I need to manually map the names.

inherit diagram from another one
situation: we have customer extensions for our application , e.g. because of added specific tables.
all customer extensions also use the common part of DaBa-Tables.need: i would like to maintain the common tables/mappings in diagram1 and inherit from this one in customer specific diagrams, where i only maintain additional table mappings and can set relations to the common tables.

Support for ErrorMessage where MaxLength could be substituted into {0} to customize the error message.
Would be good to allow customizing the error message for MaxLength attribute to say what MaxLength is limited to.

Add Entity Designer support for Entity Parameters in Model-Defined Functions
Entity Framework supports Entity type parameters to MDF's in the conceptual model. Entity Designer does not. As a company who has migrated from EDMX to EDML for all your other advantages, this was a disappointing surprise that you don't support what EF does.

"Recreate Database Tables"
I develop model first with Entity Developer. When starting a new project, its nice to use the "Recreate Database Tables" option in the "Update to database wizard". But, when the program is live, this option is DANGEROUS and can delete the tables in the database.
It would be nice, at some point, to go to the model settings and disable this checkbox so that it cannot accidently be clicked out of habit.

Cover up for EnumTypes
These enum type all go to database, and back to user, some time's its just a true false flag, and sometime much more complex, But, what is this about, is, we dont always use enum to store some state, some time we want to show it's value, and for me, it come to be atlast one in any of my form, this is nice i have enums, but i cant just show them , they should be modified to show result in some appropriate way, like more detailed, or for me, translated,...
so what i have in mind, is to…1 vote -
Allow Configurable SQL naming conventions
The code Generation templates of Entity Developer allow to customize how the .NET code Looks like, but as far as I can see there is no way to define how Database object names are generated.
It would be great to be able to have the database Generation script somehow configurable.
I don't Need anything but changing the Name Generation for Triggers and sequences, so Options to configure that would solve my current Problem as well, especially as I guess making the whole Generation template configurable might be error prone.

Attribute designer
The Attribute Dialog (where you can add and edit custom attributes for Entities or fields) Shows value Editors as single-line Input field only. For longer values a multi-line Input field would be great to have to be able to see the complete Content.

Ability to use custom types as template extended properties
I created a class to use as a property type in my template. When used as template property:
<#@ property name="TestProp" type="MyPropType"#>
everything is fine. But if I use it as extended property:
<#@ extended name="TestProp" type="MyPropType" owner="Class" #>
it doesn't work. I can see the property in property inspector, but it's not functional.Example property type:
[TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter)), DataContract] public class MyPropType: NotifiedPropertyObjectBase {......
[Browsable(true), DefaultValue(true), RefreshProperties(RefreshProperties.Repaint), DisplayName("Write"), Description("Read.")]
public bool Write { get; set; }....

Auto assign Version=true for NHibernate
I think it can be easy for the software, when using the NHibernate templaes, to automatically recognize if a property is the "version" for a table when the db field is named "version" and its type is "int".

Default NHibernate filter
I think it would be really useful to implement a property to set a default NHibernate filter for all the classes,
maybe just below the "Filters" under the "General" section of the "Classes" node or maybe directly in the "Filters
editor" dialog.2 votes -
Create (materialized) Views via Entity Developer/Model
A View in Database Terms is a predefined, "constant" query generating something that behaves nearly identical to a table.
In contrast what Entity Developer calls a "view" is a query that is hard-coded into the Client side application code, sent to the database repeatingly and interpreted from scratch each time the applications accesses the database using that view.
This brings a few drawbacks:
1) A view query may be quite complex. A Database Engine might keep track of executions of that query and optimize it. This might be easier or even possible on views as the view is a known,…1 vote -
Improve the most-recently-used file list
Currently, there are two things missing from the most recently used file list.
1. You cannot remove an entry without modifying the Windows Registry. In Visual Studio you can right-click and remove.- It is missing duplicate checking. If I open the same file twice, I get two copies in the list.

State Machine
I used to use Eco (now called MDriven) which provided Entity-State logic as part of the entity design.
Developer could define a number of "state machines" per entity, where control logic was applied as Guards (code that evaluates to prevent state X->Y change); Trigger (code that executes during the transition); Effect (code that executes at the conclusion of the transition).
For ex. I could have an "OnlineOrder" entity with an initial state of "ShoppingCart" and want it to go through the stage of "OrderEntry" then "OrderConfirmed", and finaly "OrderShipped".

Support DB-agnostic Models
Model should be DB-agnostic. One or more DB connections to a specific DB can be defined. These could be used for synchronization, XML mapping file generation etc. when requested by user. This way, a single model is maintained for more than one DB types. Now, there is not a simple way to accomplish this.

Add object names filter and grouping to Explorer
Some databases are so large, what it is too difficult to find your objects.
Or, for example, you develop some extensions for MySQL-based CMS and you wont to see only your objects.
Possibility to add filter (like in SQL Server Management Studio) would be very helpfull.8 votes
