Adding ADO.NET or ADO.NET CF Support

PowerDesigner provides support for ADO.NET and ADO.Net CF through extended model definitions.

  1. Verify that the current model has the target language C# 2.0 or Visual Basic 2005.
  2. Select Model > Extended Model Definitions, and click the Import tool.
  3. Click the O/R Mapping sub-tab, select the ADO.NET or ADO.NET Compact Framework xem, and click OK to attach it to your model.
  4. Click OK to close the List of Extended Model Definitions and return to your model.
Note:

You can also attach an XEM at model creation time by clicking the Select Extensions button on the New Model dialog.
