Entity Designer CTP 2
Och när du ändå håller på och tänker testa ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 3 så behöver du ju en designer för att underlätta det hela. Denna CTP passar ihop med VS2008 RTM.
Bland de uppdateringar som skett finner du följande:
Map using stored procedures: you can now map entities to insert/update/delete stored procedures in the mapping details window in the designer
• FunctionImports: Create, update and delete FunctionImports in your model
• “Update Model From Database…”: update model and mappings if tables or columns in the database change. Very useful during iterative development when the database changes after you initially generate the model & mappings
• Embed artifacts in output assembly: package CSDL/MSL/SSDL files as resources in the output assembly. This makes it easy to deploy projects with Entity Data Models
• Easier to find and fix errors: Double-click a validation error selects the offending entity, property or association to make it easy to fix errors
• Cut/copy/paste: Cut/copy/paste entities and properties
• Abstract entity types: Create and map abstract entity types in your model
• Support for more properties: Concurrency control for properties and documentation nodes for entities, properties, etc
• MSBUILD integration: new EntityDeploy MSBUILD task that replaces the erstwhile EdmxDeploy.exe command line tool
• Connection Management: Automatic Entity Connection string management in App/Web.config when .edmx file is moved/renamed in Solution Explorer
• Easier Navigation: Navigate to nodes in the model browser from entities and properties on the designer surface
• Enable MARS by default: Wizard sets MultipleActiveResultSets to "true" in Entity Connection string when connecting to SQL 2005
• Usability: Numerous changes based on UI/usability feedback
• Supported editions of Visual Studio 2008 RTM: Standard, Professional, Team Edition, and Express editions (C#, VB and Visual Web Developer)
