MSL Shorthand in Mapping Details

Will Smith · Post by **Will Smith** » Thu 28 Feb 2008 06:52

After using the EDM Wizard to generate my edmx, I attempt to look at the mapping details of one of the generated entities. A message is displayed in the window instead:

It appears that this mapping has been edited outside of the designer. The Entity's MSL uses short-hand notation, which is not supported by the desinger

I know I don't really need to see the mapping details (because they are correct), but I think it would be better to support as many of the "visual" tools as possible.

Just my two cents. I don't want to sound like I am complaining. You guys are doing a great job. I know there are a lot of people interested in your work. Keep the updates coming.

Cheers,
Will
