LinqConnect provides its own visual model designer – Entity Developer. With Entity Developer all model creating and editing tasks can be performed in a convenient GUI, thus greatly reducing the development and learning time. Entity Developer seamlessly integrates into Visual Studio allowing you to design LinqConnect models directly in the IDE. It supports both Model-First and Database-First approaches to design models, allows synchronizing model and database in any direction, and provides flexible and highly customizable T4-based code generation. After you have created your model, Entity Developer allows to test it with LINQ queries without the need to write a special test application.
