Important

Contains classes to generate Entity Data Model (EDM) files and object source code.
Classes
| EdmToObjectNamespaceMap |
Represents a collection of conceptual model to code namespace mappings. |
| EntityClassGenerator |
Generates object context and entity classes (object layer code) from conceptual schema definition language (CSDL) files. |
| EntityCodeGenerator |
Generates object context and entity classes (object layer code) from conceptual schema definition language (CSDL) files. Starting with Entity Framework version 4, an ObjectContext class for a specific model contains properties of type ObjectSet<TEntity> that represent the model's entity sets. |
| EntityFrameworkVersions |
Provides information about different versions of the Entity Framework. |
| EntityModelSchemaGenerator |
The class creates a default CCMapping between an EntityContainer in S space and an EntityContainer in C space. The Mapping will be created based on the declared types of extents. So Inheritance does not work. |
| EntityStoreSchemaFilterEntry |
Represents a single filter entry. The filter is used to allow or exclude particular database objects during generation. |
| EntityStoreSchemaGenerator |
Responsible for Loading Database Schema Information. |
| EntityViewGenerator |
Generates views for the extents in the StorageMappingItemCollection, and creates a source code file for a type that will cache these views. |
| MetadataExtensionMethods |
Represents the methods for the metadata publishing protocols. |
| MetadataItemCollectionFactory |
Represents a set of methods for creating metadata ItemCollection instances. |
| PropertyGeneratedEventArgs |
Provides data for the OnPropertyGenerated event. |
| TypeGeneratedEventArgs |
Provides data for the OnTypeGenerated event. |
Enums
| EntityStoreSchemaFilterEffect |
Specifies whether to allow or exclude database objects that match the pattern specified in the EntityStoreSchemaFilterEntry. |
| EntityStoreSchemaFilterObjectTypes |
Specifies the store object type to apply the schema filter to. |
| LanguageOption |
Specifies the language for the generated code. |
Delegates
| PropertyGeneratedEventHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the OnPropertyGenerated event. |
| TypeGeneratedEventHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the OnTypeGenerated event. |
Remarks
The System.Data.Entity.Design classes support the EDM tools. For more information about the EDM tools, see ADO.NET Entity Data Model Tools.
