Error in VS 2008

Hi

After creating an EDML file using dotConnect Oracle, Visual Studio gives the following error:

MSL parsing failed: The attribute 'Name' of tag 'ScalarProperty' has a unexpected value

Upon opening the file again, the diagram is blank.

Just wondered what causes this? I'll try my entity diagram again to see if I'm successful the second time.

Is the problem reproducible with the latest 2.80 Beta build of Entity Developer?
We have made some improvements to it.

Thanks.

I'll try the beta.

I was getting this error too with the release version:

I think the beta has this fixed looking at the change list, I'll give it a go.

Hmm... the beta seems to crash when you try saving:-

Hi

I've managed to get round this by deleting all files related to the EDML and recreating.
