Entity Developer with Numerous Enhancements
-
Devart Team is glad to announce that an indispensable modeling and code generation tool for NHibernate, ADO.NET Entity Framework, LinqConnect and LINQ to SQL became even more powerful and feature-rich.
Devart presents the release of the enhanced Entity Developer 4.4 with support for collections of components, default column facets for the model (for NHibernate models), etc.
New version of Entity Developer extends NHibernate mapping support - now it allows creating collections of components and components with navigation properties visually. It enables users to easily create associations to complex types and map additional columns of a join table of many-to-many association to a complex type properties. Navigation properties can now be separated to a complex type along with other properties. Additionally, Entity Developer now supports generation of the parent property, that stores a reference to the containing class for complex types. Entity Developer automatically determines the type of this property. If the complex type is contained in only one entity, this property will be of this entity type. Otherwise it will be of Object type.
In this version a possibility to specify default facets for the whole NHibernate model was added. These facets will be used for properties that don't have explicitly set facet values.
