The CodeFluent Entities Modeler is a graphical tool to create, modify, build and execute CodeFluent Entities models. It exists in three versions:
- The Visual Studio 2008 Integrated modeler, shipped only with CodeFluent Entities Modeler Edition
- The Visual Studio 2010 Integrated modeler, shipped only with CodeFluent Entities Modeler Edition.
- The Visual Studio 2012 Integrated modeler, shipped only with CodeFluent Entities Modeler Edition.
Here are the main differences between the different modeler versions:
| Modeler Type | Side by Side | Source Control Support | Xml Edition | External CSharp Projects Update |
| Portable | Yes | No | No | No |
| Visual Studio Integrated | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
CodeFluent Entities Portable Modeler
The portable modeler is for users who don't have Microsoft Visual Studio and wish to view or quickly edit a model.
Since it's not integrated with Visual Studio, and doesn't provide integrated source control support, we do not recommand using the Portable modeler to develop applications.
To do so, please use the CodeFluent Entities Modeler Edition which provides a Visual Studio integrated user interface.
