What’s new in NHibernate Designer 2.1?

We’re pleased to announce the release of NHibernate Designer 2.1, an update to our popular visual design and mapping tool for the well-known open-source object-relational mapper.

Version 2.1 rolls up a number of fixes that we’ve made over the last six months, and includes some great new features as well:

Table per subclass inheritance
One-way associations
Drag views and stored procedures onto the designer
Mark up the generated entities with WCF data contract attributes
More control over property visibility
Support for the sql-insert, sql-update and sql-delete overrides
Formula properties
Support for named SQL queries
Composite foreign keys
Improved support for creating through tables for many-to-many associations
Support for the hated, but sometimes necessary, foreign identity generator

The NHibernate Designer is FREE for up to 10 entity classes and you can upgrade to the unlimited edition for just $99. Or act quick and get it as part of our MegaPack Sale — 50% off until the end of April!
