T4 Template Engine and Model Runtime Simulation in ORM Model Designer for SQL Server

Budapest, Hungary, December 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Devart has recently announced the release of Entity Developer 2.50, a diagram-based designer for model creation, runtime simulation, and code generation for ADO.NET Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL.

Entity Developer 2.50 includes improved code generation and new model runtime simulation capabilities.

As for code generation, new T4 like template language lets you use the full power of C# or Visual Basic in the templates, allowing anything you may want for code generation. Template editor now provides syntax highlighting, code completion, and parameter information features. Syntax highlighting allows you to easily distinguish text and code blocks.

New code generation options allow placing each model class to a separate file and adding code for pre-generating views for Entity Framework models. Pre-generated views help to avoid performance loss when executing queries for the first time on large models.

To improve and simplify your model runtime simulation process, you can:

verify mapping by retrieving entities collections with ability to view referenced entities;

write, execute, and optimize LINQ to Entities, Entity SQL and LINQ to SQL queries in new Query Editor, that allows to view entities, referenced entities, generated SQL, and execution errors;

prepare test data directly by editing tables of your database using integrated Database Explorer;
