Entity Developer 3.00 Beta with Advanced Model-First Support Is Available!
November 11, 2010
Devart is glad to present the new beta of Entity Developer 3.00 with advanced Model
First support.
Now Entity Developer automatically generates the storage and mapping parts of the
model while you edit its conceptual part. Even the most complex conceptual part
changes are supported - complex types, many-to-many associations, complex hierarchies.
However you may make manual changes to the storage part, and they will be preserved
when editing conceptual part. With Entity Developer you may use QueryView and Defining
Query in your storage, that cannot be used with Visual Studio 2010 Model-First implementation.
The new Entity Developer Update to Database Wizard generates ALTER statements that
make only necessary changes to the database and retain the data if possible. It
displays the tree of the changed objects and their changes, allowing you to choose
which database objects need to be synchronized with the model, specify the renamed
objects, etc.
You are welcome to download and evaluate the new Beta
here.
If you wish to provide feedback on the new version, you can do it in our forums or with contact form.
There is also a feedback form, and
we are always glad to hear your comments and take into account your development
needs.
