Dear users,

New build of Entity Developer 4.2.110 is available for download now.

This version includes:

The documentation generation for Enum members is implemented
The algorithm for forming the Navigation Properties names, when there are several FOREIGN KEY constraints between the same tables, is changed
The behaviour is changed: the Navigation Property will not be displayed on the diagram and in Model Explorer if "Generate" is set to false for the appropriate association end
The behaviour is changed: the Validate Required attribute is synchronized with the Nullable attribute of Property by default now
The behaviour is changed: when selecting a property in the Model Explorer, the corresponding entity on the diagram does not expand if it is collapsed
The behaviour is changed: the DATETIME2 data type is now used for columns, corresponding to System.DateTime properties, for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and later
The bug with adding diagrams when the Notation parameter of the diagram "Property Details Level" is set to "Name And Type" is fixed
The bug with changing the Type property simultaneously for several inheritances is fixed
The bug with invalid Properties grid data refreshing for the selected attribute in the Attributes dialog box is fixed
The bug with formatting indents when generating code is fixed
The bug with saving inheritance layout on the diagram is fixed
The bug with incorrect model diagram saving after deleting a complex type from a diagram is fixed

NHibernate support

The ability to pre-define filter criteria and attach those filters at both a class level and a collection level is implemented
The new "ConstructorModifier" extended property, which allows controlling access for the class constructor, is added for entities and complex types
The possibility to generate extensibility partial OnChanging and partial OnChanged methods separately with the "PropertyChangePartialMethods" template property is added
The behaviour is changed: an implicit NOT NULL column attribute in SQL script is determined by the Nullable attribute of Property now
The behaviour is changed: the Validate Max Length attribute is synchronized with the Length attribute of Column by default now
The behaviour is changed: "Getter Modifier" and "Setter Modifier" code generation properties are added for entity properties instead of the "Modifier" property
The behaviour is changed: the field initialization code will create an object of the type, similar to the internal NHibernate type for this field
The behaviour is changed: the type of the Column.NotNull property is changed to System.Nullable and the property can accept three values: true, false and null
The bug with incorrect saving of generators in the .hbm.xml mapping files is fixed
The bug with setting full enum name in property type is fixed

Entity Framework support

The "Detect function-based column default value" option for automatic setting StoreGeneratedPattern to Identity for corresponding columns is implemented (by default, false)
The behaviour is changed: the Validate Max Length attribute is synchronized with the Max Length attribute of Property by default now
The bug when the names of constraints in the Store part of the model are not taken into account by Generate Database Script From Model wizard is fixed
The bug with Retrieve Data when using DbContext template is fixed
The bug with Table Per Hierarchy (TPH) when using abstract intermediate class between the base and derived classes is fixed
