Can EFML's Model Explorer window associate database views, stored procedures, and constraints?
How does that work?

I had done now.

I hava a problem.
tool: entity developer 6.11.1218 trial
task: edml to efml
Now, I have parse all Classes and Associations. But some OneToMany association have debug in efml. See image:3.jpg.(efml)
It's ok in edml, like image 2.jpg. and edml's xml in 1.jpg.(edml)
The efml's xml like 4.jpg that i generate.(efml)

How to create OneToMany association with custom define properties in efml?
It shouldn't be 0..1 to * , should be 1 to * in 5.jpg.
Please give us your advice.

Our documentation doesn't include a reference for classes used in the templates, but there are some tips:

• https://www.devart.com/entitydeveloper/ ... lates.html
• use IntelliSense feature in our T4 Editor (completion list appears when you type the '.' character)
• you can switch to the model in design time to read a description of a particular property in the Properties window
• general T4 reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visual ... ew=vs-2019
• definitions of types in the assemblies

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Devart\EntityDeveloper\EntityDeveloper.Orm.EntityFrameworkCore.dll
  may help you to get acquainted with the needed classes and their functionality

Thanks.
We'll explore API usage later when we have free time.
I have to finish my work task first.Thank you anyway.

I read EDMX by parsing XML files, is there a more stable way to do it? Such as t4.

We do not provide an out-of-the-box solution for converting EF6 model to EF Core model. Microsoft documentation about differences between EF6 and EF Core models is available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/efc ... /port-edmx.

I already know about this.(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/efc ... /port-edmx)
I wonder if the templates in Entity Developer can resolve EDML?
I don't know if I can get all the EDML information in the template. such as model.Association, model.Classes and so on.
(The fornms can't upload images. The path of template is 'entity developer'->'model explorer'->'templates'->'data transfer object'.)

Where can I view the API documentation of 'entity developer templates'?

Neither *.edmx, no *.edml can be converted to Devart EF Core Model (*.efml) because it uses a different object model.

You should create a new *.efml model with Database-First approach and add the existing database objects with Create Model Wizard or Update From Database Wizard.

Thank you for your answer and attention!
EDML has some information attached to it that is not in the database, so i can't use database first way to generate efml. Now, we need to convert edml or edmx to efml.

I need to convert edmx(entityframework model) to efml(entityframework core model). I have not find some solutions all the thime.

Thanks.
