File-based XML mapping loading problem

crazypit · Post by **crazypit** » Mon 31 Jan 2011 14:02

Using the latest version, i still get a XmlSchemaException : Guid

at Devart.Data.Linq.Mapping.aj.b(XmlReader A_0, String[] A_1)
at Devart.Data.Linq.Mapping.aj.g(XmlReader A_0)
at Devart.Data.Linq.Mapping.XmlMappingSource.FromReader(XmlReader reader)
at Devart.Data.Linq.Mapping.XmlMappingSource.FromStream(Stream stream)

If i remove all the Guid attributes (what is this exactly? I opened an older lqml with the latest Entity Developer and when i saved, every entity & column had a Guid attribute...), i get a same MaxLength exception. Gosh...

Guid' is a new keyword used for internal purposes only. The problem with Guids is the same issue as the one that occurs with other non-standard mapping keywords. We are working on it, but cannot provide any timeframe. At the moment, we can only suggest to remove these keywords manually or create a simple program that will remove them automatically.

Well, ok, but i've been trying to load mapping from file for over a month now. And i think this is a much more critical issue than e.g. support for multiple diagrams per model in Entity Developer...

It's been a month. Anything new on that?

We plan to implement substantial changes related to model building and code generation in the next minor version (not build) of Entity Developer. In particular, this issue should be fixed within these changes.

We will post here when this version is released.

We have fixed the problem with external mapping for LinqConnect models: if the Mapping Mode property of the model is set to File, a separate .xml file containing only standard mapping elements is now created. These changes are available in the latest 2.50.22 Beta build of LinqConnect. The new build can be downloaded from
http://www.devart.com/linqconnect/download.html
(the trial version) or from Registered Users' Area (provided that you have an active subscription):
