I am playing around with the latest Entity Framework, and I would like to separate the generated classes into 1 file per class if possible.
I also want to be able to re-generate these files after splitting.
Although this question asks the question, it is old and the accepted answer is “maybe in the future.” Split EDMX for Entity Framework – Breakout object layer into separate files – possible?
Is it possible to do this? If so, how do I go about doing this?
Thanks
Use EFv4 and T4 template (for entity objects or POCOs). It will create separate file for each created entity. I’m not sure why you want it. It is generated code which mustn’t be manually modified because modifications will be lost during next regenerating.
Breaking EDMX insto separate files is somehow possible but pretty hard – it is manual work. Check these articles (part 1 and part 2). It is approach for working with large models.
