I installed the latest version of DotConnect Professional for MySQL a few months back and decided not to buy since I wasn't pleased with the Entity Designer, mostly because I couldn't find a way to refresh the schema from the database if I made changes there (add/change a column or table, etc.)
I see that there is a new beta which has an improved Entity Developer that is integrated into Visual Studio, but when I installed and ran it, it said my trial expired.
1. Is refreshing the schema from the database, while not wiping out any customizations I have already made, possible yet?
2. If so, is it possible to reset my trial period so I can try this out?
3. If I generate a schema using Entity Designer, and then access this schema using LINQ to MySQL (not Entity Framework), is it then still possible to run these assemblies under Mono?
