Hello,

I am evaluating LLBLGen for the generation of EF Core 8 code for Postgresql access.

I use designer 5.11.3. I added a typeimport file named NorthwindPg.typeimports, while the project file is called NorthwindPg.llblgenproj:

<typeImports> <typeImport typeName="NorthwindPg.EnumTypes.*" assemblyFile="Code\Model\bin\Debug\net8.0\NorthwindPg.Model.dll"/> </typeImports>

The file containing the enums is the following:

namespace NorthwindPg.EnumTypes
{
    public enum enum_test
    {
        Test0,
        Test2,
        Test3
    }
}

The code is generated by LLBLGen. When I re-scan the folder I get the following error:

TypeConverterStore::Error importing types from assembly file 'C:\Dev\MIP\Sandbox\Postgresql-in-docker\DAL\Code\Model\bin\Debug\net8.0\NorthwindPg.Model.dll': One or more dependencies couldn't be resolved. Types to import in this assembly will be unavailable.

I also tried to specify the name of the enum I need to import instead of the wild card. In this case I get no error, however, in Tools\View Loaded External Types I cannot find the type.

I would really appreciate your help solving this issue!

Best

There was a fix for assembly relative paths, could you please try v.5.11.4?

The only available trial version for download is 5.11.3. Is it possible to make the newer version available for download? That would be great!

I checked the documentation regarding support Postgresql Enumerations (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-enum.html). Does LLBLGen have support for these types? That would be a great feature!

No, sorry. We'll release the hotfix as the new version in due time

Regarding your question about postgres enum types: no, we don't support these types

It turned out that my dot.net standard 2.0 assembly was not being read. I changed the project to full framework and the designer now can read the enums and it is working as expected. As I expect to bu building on Windows machines, I think this will be ok. Thank you for your help.
