In this case it is of great value being able to debug ED Templates... many of requests I have seen here could be solve with ability of developing templates.

Allow the user to input values for parameters when creating a return type automatically for a function
It would be great if the user was allowed to input parameters when Entity Developer is executing the function to create the return type model.
Currently if you need to input parameter values for the function to execute correctly, it will fail and no model will be generated since all values are sent as NULL.

Standalone object model library to read/write edml
There is an object-model to read and write the edml but it is only accessible from Entity Developer.
It would be great to have a standalone library (dll) that you can use in your own code generation environment (without Entity Developer and T4). This way you can use whatever tools and techniques for code generation.9 votes -
update ONE class from database
it would be nice if we can update only ONE entity from database.
a right-click menu option "update this entity from database" on entity would be perfect solution.currently, is is pretty painful to do so, since we have to start from all objects and un-check everything except the entity that we are interested in.
thank you

include the ability to add existing C# classes to the model diagram.
It would be extremely useful to our company if Devart Entity Developer was able to add pre-existing C# classes into the model diagram.
We already have all our entities written, but we need to generate Fluent NHibernate mappings for all of them, and recreating all the classes in Entity Developer is a bit tedious, since we've already generated them once. We just want to add them to the diagram, create our associations, and build out our mappings.

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 -

implement a "Unique" feature for properties
This should then create a unique constraint for the corresponding column in SQL.
Often there are fields that are not primary key, but still need to be unique "natural part numbers" are a common example.7 votes -
Support for converting underscore notation to PascalCase and vice versa
I would like to be able to convert my database objects, which are in underscore notation into PascalCase when I do database-first work. Likewise, I would like to convert my PascalCase .NET objects into underscore notation in the database when doing model-first. So
MYGREATTABLE becomes MyGreatTable and, MyGreatClass would become MYGREATCLASS.7 votes -

Create the Stored Procedure Mappings when Importing from SQL Server
When creating a model via Database First, the Stored Procedure Mappings for the CRUD operations should be created automatically. There should be some configurable logic like "for a table Customer there are stored procedures InsertCustomer, UpdateCustomer, DeleteCustomer".
Some more details can be found here: http://forums.devart.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28461

Export <auto-generated /> code documentation element to generated code files
We are using StyleCop.Analyzers extensively to ensure a unique coding style in our projects.
The problem is, we receive a lot of warnings about coding style rule violations in code files generated from EntityDeveloper's DbContext
code generation template.Some of the warnings can be easily suppressed by activating the DbContext template's property "Generate GeneratedCode Attribute" .
But some disturbing warnings remain (e.g. SA1027, SA1200, SA1210 especially in generated enum code files or pregenerated views).
These warnings can be suppress using global suppression file. But unfortunately only for all code files in the particular project, instead of only for the affected…5 votes -
Ability to generate enums based on actual data from table
Add the ability to generate an enum based on the actual data from a table and have it automatically assign the value of each item based on the primary key of each particular row. Automatically assign the best base type for the enum based on the total number of rows of data its being generated from.
Also it would be nice if this was two-way. One could also "deploy" the data from one or more enums back into the database as rows of data.
