Generating automatically the SQL Server Database
Generation of the SQL Server objects relies on the Microsoft SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL DMO) technologies. Those 32-bit components are installed when installing complete versions of Microsoft Visual Studio. Consequently, if you're running an Express edition of Visual Studio you might not have those components. To use the CodeFluent Entities automated generation feature for SQL Server in such environments, it's possible to install those components by installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack available here.
 |
Note: The SQL-DMO dependency is planned to be removed towards 2012 - Q1. |
Compiling automatically the generated source code
Compilation can be done manually by developers, by external tools such as Visual Studio, or automatically handled by CodeFluent, right after the source code was generated. In order to benefit from the CodeFluent Entities automated compilation feature, the .NET Framework must be installed as well as Microsoft Visual Studio or the Windows SDK.
|
Note: In order to compile sources, CodeFluent Entities needs the standard .NET Assembly Linker (AL.exe) provided by Microsoft. The Assembly Linker is be shipped with Microsoft Visual Studio or the .NET Framework SDK. |
