When you drag an entity with no primary key from the Server Explorer onto the designer surface, VS thinks for a couple of seconds and then does nothing. I think an alert to the user to tell them why it wasn't added would be useful. I also noticed it is possible to drag a table onto the designer multiple times. |

"When you drag an entity with no primary key from the Server Explorer onto the designer surface, VS thinks for a couple of seconds and then does nothing. I think an alert to the user to tell them why it wasn't added would be useful." For some reason I thought we had this, but you're right, we don't. Fixed in next nightly. "I also noticed it is possible to drag a table onto the designer multiple times." Yes. This is permissible as a transient state, and useful if you are creating multiple entity types that partake of the same table (e.g. in an inheritance situation, dragging the table multiple times and deleting columns that are not wanted at this level may be quicker than crafting the hierarchy by hand). The designer will, however, alert you if you attempt to save the model while two entities have the same name. |
