llblgen 2.5 Feb 4th 2008 c# .net 2.0

Steps to reproduce: 1.) Open designer, open projects. In project is loaded entity: dbo.customer 2.) Open SQL, execute sql to alter schema to x.customer 3.) In designer, refresh catalog (using shortcut, if that makes a difference) 4.) Error generated in designer.

Solution: Close designer first, alter schema, then open designer and refresh.

Which database is this?

What happens when you do the following steps? Steps to reproduce: 1.) Open designer, open projects. In project is loaded entity: dbo.customer 2.) Open SQL, execute sql to alter schema to x.customer 3.) In designer, delete the entity mapping. 4.) In designer, refresh catalog (using shortcut, if that makes a difference) 5.) Error generated in designer.

Would you please paste the error text and stack trace?

The database is SQL 2005

It seems that the error is concerning subTypes. If I make a change to the database while designer is open (i.e., delete a table that is a subType) and then unattended refresh the catalog, the subType does not delete from designer. When I attempt to manually delete the subType, I get the object reference error. A sample of the error is below:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have confirmed that this happens regardless of schema change. Thank you,

Hi luciusism,

I can't reproduce your issue. I followed these steps (using LLBLGenPro Feb 4th 2008 ) :

1. Open a project (has some subEntities).
2. Delete the table mapping the subType.
3. Refresh (I tried normal, with shortcut and unattended).
4. I receive a message from the refresh routine:_Entity removed because its target table 'dbo.OrderAuditInfo' was not found in the catalog._

Could you attach a tiny repro project + DDL script ?

Hi daelmo, thanks for the reply. I've been having this and similar designer errors (for example, relationships not appearing after refresh unless I delete and recreate tables)

At this time, I'm going to look at the db for errors. Thanks!
