Every time I try to edit a column in a table (in the storedmodel) Enttiy Devloper crashes and wants to submit a report. Doesnt matter which table/column. Crashes with every column. Any ideas/workarounds?

On another note: In the old version (build118) if you edit a column specification and set it to "computed", the information is not persisted and if you open the column again it is still set to "none".

Sorry I was a bit upset. So to recap:
I uninstalled Devart Entity Developer, it deleted the "Custom.After.Microsoft.Common.targets" files.
I then reinstalled Entity Developer and Postsharp.
Now my targets files look like:

Code: Select all

But still the Metaresources arent added to the dll. There is not even an indication that EntityDeveloper does something on build. Any ideas? Is there any debug log I can check? Thanks!

Dude. The uninstaller simply deletes those files. You DO know that there are other tools out there that require an entry in one of those files?
Damn it

I did a reinstall and deleted the registry keys. Most problems are gone, however the metadata still doesnt get generated.
I have to use "CopyToOutputDirectory" and generate them with the standalone product and then add the generated files manually to the project.
How do I get the files embedded in the DLL of the project?

With the current version (2.80.116) I have several issues:
1. After installing the "cannot find metadata" error is back (I am targetting Framework 3.5). My last workaround (editing the common targets file manually doenst seem to work anymore).
2. When I run Entity Developer as standalone I get several error messages after loading a model:

Failed to initialize tool window "Document Outline"
Failed to initialize tool window "Output"
Failed to initialize tool window "Properties"

3. When I go to model properties and try to apply changes I get "The device is not ready." and I cannot apply changes.

Any tips are highly appreciated. I only upgraded to VS2010 after i read that entity developer was ready for it, so I am a bit disapointed....

Dropping the table is not really a good option, since you have to redo all work you did on the set (like renaming entities/association and everything else). That process is also errorprone (since we are humans).

Any ETA on the updatefeature? I would even settle with an "Only add new columns not in the current storagemodel"

Fortis

If you doubleclick on an entity and then add a property via contextmenu in the class designer, it deselects every "Nullable" and "Entity Key" checkboxes.
(Current Version 2.50.73)

What is the suggested/encouraged way to update a changed table (ie a table that has 10 new columns/changed column names)?
This happens quite frequently to me and at the moment I dont have a solution that is not painfully cumbersome...
(and I know schemaupdates from the database is a planned feature, but in the meantime...)

If this file existed before dotConnect is installed, then the problem could occur. We are working on it.

The file exists and it was put there by Postsharp 1.5.

Code: Select all

*Edit: I copied the file from a backup and modified the Microsoft.Common.targets manually and now it works again. You might want to check your setup routine.

I just installed the 2.50.50 release under Vista 64 bit and this error came back. I checked the files and "Devart.Data.Entity.Build.Tasks.dll" is there, but "Devart.Data.Entity.targets" is missing (in both Framwork\3.5\ and Framework64\3.5\). Aso, there is no entry in the Microsoft.Common.targets file.

Any advice? I am currently under a deadline, so a fast response would be highly appreciated.
kind regards

Also please check that the %Windows%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets file contains the
Code: Select all
  
line.

You can alter the template used for code generation. (Under templates in the entity developer).

With the latest version, I dont get this error anymore!

Fortis

I created a new Template, registered it in the EntityDeveloper, selected the new template in the project properties, however when I save the project Visual Studio says:
"Template with name 'EntityFrameworkTracing' is not found. Specify the correct template in the Project properties..."

What am I doing wrong?

Fortis

Is there a solution to this? I have the exact same problem.
Under Vista I dont get errors under WIn7 the compiled DLL is smaller and I get an MetaDataException...
I checked the frameworkfolder: both files are present, however the Import conditons where missing. I added them manually, but still get the same result....
