Different suffix for entities and DTOs

Post by ultravelocity » Thu 18 May 2017 01:51

I would like to have my EF entities suffixed with *Entity. However I also want to generate DTOs with a *Dto suffix. Is this possible with one model? E.g., UserEntity and UserDto

This suffix is generated by default. If you want to change it, you can can do this: open your *.edml model, navigate to Tools > Entity Developer > Model Explorer > open the Templates node, select the Data Transfer Object template, press F4 (Properties) and set its DTO Class Name Suffix property.

There is no the Class Name Suffix property in EntityObject and DbContext templates. Workarounds:
* Model Settings > Synchronization > Model Naming > the Add suffix option (this functionality is slightly different to the one you want)
* right click template in the Templates node of Model Explorer > Copy to Model Folder. Now you can modify the code generation in the way you need
