Dears at LLBLGen,

I am using version 3.0 Final, October 22nd, 2010. I am generating entity classes from a DB model.

I found out that it is possible to have attributes applied to all properties of a certain kind (NavigatorCollection, etc.) which means that these attributes are always re-applied after every generation. But is it possible, in the designer, to have an attribute applied to a certain property of an entity?

Thank you

Nasser

Hi Nasser,

Sure you can. Just:

1. Go to entity editor of the involved entity.
2. Select the "Code gen info" sub tab (below).
3. Select the "Attributes" sub tab (above)
4. On the Attribute definition grid, add the desire attribute.

Also, if you added a object type Attribute at Project Properties->Code gen options (for example, Entity attribute), you can edit an entity and select that you don't want that entity inherits that attribute.

For more info read this.

Hope helpful

Dear David!

Thank you for your reply!

The solution you describe would add an attribute to the class definition like

[SomeAttribute()]
public class SomeEntity
{
    int SomeProperty { get; set;}
}

I need to add an Attribute to a property, and have that attribute regenerated every time I generate code from the designer. Somethings like

public class SomeEntity
{
    [SomeAttribute(typeof(int), "SomeString")]
    int SomeProperty { get; set;}
}

Is it possible to define an Attribute per Property in the designer?

Yes, just select the field or navigator in the combo box on the tab David mentioned. In there you can select to keep the inherited attributes from the project settings and / or add new ones, just for that field.

Thank you for the explanation!
