Devart has recently announced the release of dotConnect products for Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite ADO.NET providers that offer Entity Framework support, LINQ to SQL support, and contain an ORM model designer for developing LINQ to SQL and EF models based on different database engines.

Entity Developer 2.50, a designer for modeling and code generation for ADO.NET Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL, included in Professional Edition of every dotConnect, was greatly improved. Now Entity Developer allows to view and edit data of tables, views, and model entities, create and execute Entity SQL, LINQ to Entities, and LINQ to SQL queries against the model, eliminating the need for additional applications and reducing time for accessing these operations.

Code generation for models was completely redesigned. New T4 like template language allows you to use the full power of C# or Visual Basic in the templates, allowing virtually anything you may want for code generation. Template editor now provides syntax highlighting, code completion, and parameter information features. Syntax highlighting allows you to easily distinguish text and code blocks.

The model got two new properties, affecting code generation: File Per Class and View Generation. The File Per Class property allows placing each model class to a separate file, and View Generation adds code for pre-generating views for Entity Framework models.

In LINQ to SQL, dotConnect providers offer better performance and new DbLinqDataSource class.

To ease the database application development, integration with improved Devart dbMonitor was added, allowing you to monitor interaction with database remotely.
