Comments on the table columns in Entity Developer

When I use the Entity Developer Database Reverse Engineering Wizard to consume my PostgreSQL database schema only the comments for the database table get reflected in the entity class. My comment on each column of the table does not get reflected in the entity property.

Thanks for the immediate response. Just wondering when can I ask expect an upgrade to postgreSQL 9.0.
Cheers,
Muthu

We are in the process of testing the Postgres 9.0 server.
I will post here as soon as any new information is available.

Hii Andrey,
Another quick question, how do I get my comments to populate on the summary instead of the long description under the documentation property in the entity developer.
Thanks, Muthu

You can make some modifications to the code generation template.
Go to the Tools->Entity Developer->Templates...
Create a new template, load the code from the "Entity C#" template (or from the other, I took this one for example).
Make the following changes:
1. Replace the
Code: Select all
GenerateDocumentation(cls.Documentation, cls.FullName);
with
Code: Select all
GenerateClassDocumentation(cls.Documentation, cls.FullName);
2. Add a GenerateClassDocumentation method like the following:
Code: Select all
///
///
/// There are no comments for in the schema.
///
///
///
///
As you can see, the only difference with the GenerateDocumentation method is the fact that Summary and LongDescription are swapped.
3. Save the template.
4. Double-click the model surface (to open the model properties) and select the template you have just created. Save the model.
After these steps the table comments will be placed in the Summary section of the class documentation.

The fix will be available in the nearest build of dotConnect for PostgreSQL 5.0.; we will inform you when the corresponding build is released.
Also, dotConnect for PostgreSQL was tested with PostgreSQL 9.0, and we found no compatibility problems.

Hii Stanislav,
When can we expect the PostgreSQL 5.0 release ? Is there any 5.0 beta build which has this issue resolved that I can try now ?
Thanks, Muthu
