Question

I’m using database first approach to create a model with entity framework. In VS2010 after the model was generated I always choose a different code generation template (right click on diagram “Add new code generation item”) then, in the dialog box, choose “DbContext Generator”. This will instruct VS to generate POCO classes instead of the, very complex, standard class. When I tried to do the same in the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview I can’t find the template “DbContext Generator” in the dialog.
How can I add the dbcontext template to the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview?
I saw I can use nuget but I’m unable find it when I do a search.

In February Microsoft release a dbContext Generator that works on Visual Studio 11 Beta.
The link to download this generator is:

Hope it helps.
