How to generate code from template?

Post by MeltdownZA » Sun 26 May 2013 08:51

I've created my model in Visual Studio 2012 and I'm happy with all the settings etc, yet I've been through all the documentation and forums and cannot for the life of me figure out how to generate the code for a template.

I've created an MVC template, yet where do I click to generate the actual code for this template?

Thanks

I figured it out, for future reference you need to make sure you set the 'OutputInfo' settings on each templates properties window. Then once that is done, click the 'Save all documents' button in Visual Studio and all the code will be generated for you in the locations you specified.

We will change a default behaviour (when the "Output" property of the MVC Controller template is not set): the controller will be generated in the folder with the model. We will post here when the corresponding build of Entity Developer is available for download.

The behaviour is changed: now by default MVC Controller template generates files in the model folder, MVC View Advanced template creates files in the Views model subfolder. We will post here when the corresponding build of Entity Developer is available for download.
