Available Presets

For the Entity Framework v1, there's one preset shipped with LLBLGen Pro. This preset, called SD.EntityFramework.v1, generates code similar to the Entity Framework v1 designer: classes have attributes and contain the same code / functionality as the Microsoft code does.

The preset generates all entity classes, typed list row classes and value type classes in separate files, adds proper XML comments and adds everything to a separate VS.NET project file. The generated code works as if it was generated by the MS designer, and therefore you can directly use the Microsoft Entity Framework v1 documentation to use the generated code.

Every entity class derives from the generated CommonEntityBase class, which derives from the mandatory EntityObject class of the Entity Framework. To extend all entity classes at once, extend this CommonEntityBase class using a partial class.

Every value type class derives from the generated CommonValueTypeBase class, which derives from the mandatory ComplexObject class of the Entity Framework. To extend all value type classes at once, extend this CommonValueTypeBase class using a partial class.
