Requirements

Designer requirements

LLBLGen Pro's designer needs the .NET framework v4.8.x. To run the designer inside Visual Studio, you need Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2022.

Database requirements

To be able to determine the complete schema and all the relationships inside it, LLBLGen Pro requires that the schemas have all the foreign key constraints and unique constraints necessary. If your schema doesn't have foreign key constraints, you can add these relationships manually in the designer.

The following list explains the requirements per supported database type.
