About this software

Entity Developer is a visual modeling and code-generation tool for .NET object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks, including LINQ to SQL. It provides a graphical designer to create and edit data models, mappings, and generate entity classes and data-access code. The product integrates with Visual Studio and offers a standalone designer, templates for code generation, and model-first or database-first workflows to accelerate development of data access layers.

Frequently asked questions

What is Devart Entity LINQ?
A data-access library that enables writing LINQ queries against entity models in .NET applications, translating queries for execution against the database.
How does Devart Entity LINQ integrate with .NET entity models?
It plugs into the application's data layer to allow LINQ expressions over mapped entity types, enabling query composition, materialization of results, and interaction with underlying database providers.
Which LINQ operations are supported when querying entity models?
Common LINQ operations such as filtering, projection, joins, sorting, grouping, and aggregation are supported when translated and executed against entity models and the underlying database.
How can Devart Entity LINQ affect query performance?
Query performance depends on the translated SQL, query complexity, and database indexing; profiling generated SQL and adjusting queries or mappings helps identify and address bottlenecks.
How is mapping and type safety handled with LINQ queries?
Mappings between database structures and entity classes provide compile-time type checking for LINQ expressions, while materialization converts query results into strongly typed entities.
