I was wondering if there were options in the designer. Or if I can request options? Option for changing the case of Properties to off, camel, etc... Option for when you rename a field to have it automatically mapped to the database field you just changed. Option for soft delete column Thanks

1. Casing This is an area where we would be reluctant to offer options because the PascalCasing standard is universal across .NET and we have a philosophy of trying to encapsulate standards and recommended or idiomatic practices. If you have a strong reason or preference to depart from this standard, or your organisation/customer has a different coding standard, you can of course change the case of properties manually by editing them. (If you are creating a lot of entities from database tables, and don't want to do this by hand, the .lsmodel file format is XML, so you could automate this using XSLT, LINQ to XML or a text-oriented scripting language such as Ruby or Perl.) Maybe you could say a bit more about your use case? 2. Automatically apply Column Name after renaming a field This sounds like a good idea. We will need to be a little bit careful because renaming a field may be associated with renaming a column, rather than aliasing, but that's just a matter of figuring out an appropriate UI I think. I'll log a feature request for this one. 3. Quick way to create soft delete column Good idea; we should probably also do this for creation/update tracking and lock version columns. I'll log a feature request for this one too. Thanks! |
