Ef Designer: 1.2.0 Release

New Features

• Roslyn-based code analysis now allows dragging C# files onto the design surface to add or update classes and enums
• Can add INotifyPropertyChanged interface and implementation for entities
• Ability to tag model as a specific EF version (especially useful for EF Core as new capabilities are being added often)
• Support for dependent (complex/owned) types
• Option to generate dependent types in a separate directory
• Output directory overrides for classes and enums
• On model save, can optionally automatically install EF NuGet packages for the model's EF type and version
• Context menu action to expand and collapse selected classes and enums

Enhancements

• Added ability to add/edit enum values via text in the same way properties can be added/edited in classes
• Property grid hides element properties if they're not appropriate for the EF version
• Inheritance strategy automatically changes to table-per-hierarchy if targeting EF Core
• Context property "Database Type" changed to "SqlServer Type" to better reflect what it does
• Selecting an element in the Model Explorer highlights it on the diagram
