I just downloaded and installed your trial today.
I am also relatively new to Entity Framework, but have some issues with the technology when refreshing stored procedures and views.
I have a large application with some complex data structures that require the use of "dynamic stored procedures" -- or stored procedures where the actual names of certain fields referenced are changed via parameters at run-time.
To accomplish this with "mapping" software, I have to first code the stored procedure using specific fields and the "AS" clause, save the stored procedure, "map" it, and then modify the stored procedure to use parameters to replace certain field names (but always using the "AS" named fields in the output).
In Entity Framework, I cannot allow a global "refresh" otherwise I "lose" the first version of the stored procedures and the resulting "dynamic" sp's are then unusable.
Is there a way, using your tools, to "mark" certain stored procedures so that they will not be refreshed unless I manually override them?
If I didn't explain myself well, please advise and I will include some sample sql code.
Thanks in advance!
