Model Designer for ADO.NET Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL Exceeds Standard Capabilities

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 11, 2009 – An entity model can be used to generate C# or Visual Basic code with flexible predefined code templates. With the designer, a model can be designed from scratch or reverse-engineered from an existing database, in which case the classes and the relations will be available in the model with just several clicks.

The new version extends the abilities of standard Visual Studio 2008 designer by such features as Drag & Drop support, that allows  to move items from Database explorer to diagram and Project Explorer, and  from Project Explorer to diagram to create conceptual layer entities from the storage ones, support  for Entity Framework Storage Model Editing to simplify the process of  database modification in accordance with changes in it, and, besides, three available types of inheritance, Entity Framework Complex Type support is added. Also, now, due to the background validation, that is executed after model changing, a user can see the actual state of the model immediately.

Other improvements in Entity Developer 2.00 include full support for stored procedures in LINQ to SQL, advanced naming rules for database objects, and Visual Studio integration.
