Take a look at this article.
To make these templates work with the Devart Entity model, (.edml files) follow the steps described in our blog here.
There is one more thing - don't forget to change the "$edmxInputFile$" to the name of your model.

You can say stupid about me, or you can say less clever but really i can't make it. i get in some point and stop: how i attach the template to designer and which file specifically. really if you can make it in short video you will make a very great favor for my.
Thank you a lot for your help

Here are the steps I was using:
1. Add a Devart Entity model to your project (it is named DataModel1 by default). Adjust the connection, select some tables in Database Explorer and drop them on the designer surface.
As an alternative, you can run Create Model from Database wizard, it will create a model for you.
Go to the Properties window of the model file and clear out the Custom Tool property.
2. Add an ADO.NET Self-Tracking Entity Generator to your project. Name it DataModel1.tt for simplicity. this will create two code generation templates - DataModel1.tt and DataModel1.Context.tt.
3. Open both these templates and replace "$edmxInputFile$" with "DataModel1.edml".
4. Save the project. You will obtain a couple of code files generated by the DataModel1.Context.tt - DataModel1.Context.cs and DataModel1.Context.Extensions.cs; Datamodel1.cs file, and as many files as you have entities in the model in form of .cs generated by the DataModel1.tt template.

Please note that I assume the steps described in this post are already performed.

Hope these steps will help.
