New Entity Framework v4 features

By request, a "Upgrade 2008/2009 license to EF4 feature set" option is available now at the product page ( www.huagati.com/dbmltools ) under the Download/Licensing tab, for upgrading licenses issued during 2008 or 2009 to the new EFv4 feature set.
Just for clarification: there is no need to upgrade a license issued during 2008 or 2009 just to use the add-in under Visual Studio 2010 with the existing feature set.
A license issued during 2010 (or upgraded using the upgrade option) is only needed to take advantage of the newest features added for Entity Framework v4:
a) the EFv4 complex type extractor that was added in version 1.90, and
b) the EFv4 model comparer which is being added in version 1.91, and
c) other yet-to-be-announced Entity Framework v4-specific features

Hi Kristopher
I shall be eventually getting VS2010 so is there any movement on this
Maybe you may want to consider some of the methods other companies use, say a %age of the product cost as an annual renewal fee.
As long as the % isn't too high , its probably the fairest way.
Certainy I do not want to buy a 2010 license to get what just for the extras, as I probably have 90% of teh context already ,also including the profiler may dter people , having now no choice as a separate product.
Hope this helps
Mike

Hi,
"Schema-less" mode is planned for version 1.92 - it will strip schema information for one or several schemas from the tables and store that information separately outside of the model.
Best regards,
Kristofer

Hi Florin,
Schema-less mode is planned for ver 1.92.
Currently the update function won't be able to identify tables without schema since it uses both schema and table name to match to entities in the model.
Best regards,
Kristofer

L2S diagram update fails for schema-less tables

Hi,
If I manually remove the schema from the table name in Linq2Sql diagram (Table properties/Source field) the add-in fails to see the latest table changes. It behaves like there has been no change. I'd expect this to work as the database user I use to connect to SQL Server owns the schema, so the database objects under this schema don't necessarily need to be prefixed by a schema name. If I prefix again the tables with the schema name the add-in reflects the changes correctly in the diagram.
I guess the add-in parses the table properties/source field and it always expects the schema to retrieve the metadata. Could the add-in assume the default schema of the connecting user for tables whose names are not prefixed by a schema. Is this something that can be done in next releases, or I'm missing something in settings? I'd very much appreciate a confirmation of whether this can be included in the next release(s).
Thanks,
Florin Neamtu

Hi Mike,
All existing features will continue working for pre-2010 licenses, and you can install upcoming updates without losing any of the existing features.
The "2010-license" only applies to some of the newly added EFv4 specific features (e.g. the 'complex type generator' in v 1.90). Additions and fixes to the existing features are not affected.
It was a hard decision, but the choice was between making some of the new things a new product or incorporate it in the existing one. However, it had to be done to support the development of the new features.
I will look into adding some reasonable renewal option for existing licenses. Will let you know...
Best regards,
Kristofer

This behavior could be triggered if 'source' and 'server data type' was not set in the designer. As of ver 1.90 additional validation has been added to ensure that those fields are filled out and/or that the values are inferred when possible.

New EFv4 features
Starting from version 1.90, the Visual Studio 2010 version of Huagati DBML/EDMX Tools will get some new Entity Framework v4-only features. These features will not be available in the VS2008 version of the add-in.
Existing licenses
Additionally, these new EFv4-specific features will only be available to licenses issued during (or after) 2010. Licenses issued during 2008 or 2009 will still have access to all previously existing functionality for Linq-to-SQL and Entity Framework, both in VS2008 and VS2010. No existing functionality will be removed, and existing license holders can still upgrade to newer versions without losing any already existing features.

Ok, finally this feature is under way. (Although it will work with EFv4 / .net 4.x / VS2010 only)

Hi Kristofer,
It would be really helpful if we could have a setting to remove the schema name from .dbml file. A more detailed explanation for this request is here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/linqtosql/thread/a35b3ab4-1ebe-433a-b7f0-13f7ff9f87f9.
Thanks,
