If i upgrade from 2.6 to 5.1 can i set it up so the generated classes have the same methods and properties as version 2.6?

Really just wondering what the scope of work is to do the upgrade.

BTW - i am upgrading mainly to work with SQL 2016, which my version 2.6 seems to dislike.

In general they have the same methods. Some methods have been changed to be an explicit interface method (so you have to cast to e.g. IEntity2 explicitly). For the full set of breaking changes, see: http://www.llblgen.com/Documentation/5.1/LLBLGen%20Pro%20RTF/migratingcode.htm#migrating-generated-code-from-v2.6-to-v3.0

And then read upwards to v5.1. It might seem like a lot, but often you won't run into things.
