通过edmgen工具仅生成实体框架模型的objectLayer

Question

How to generate only objectLayer by edmgen tool , without generating csdl, ssdl and views ?

"%windir%\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\edmgen.exe" /mode:fullgeneration /c:"Data Source=.\\sqlexpress; Initial Catalog=uqs; Integrated Security=SSPI" /project:generateEntityModel /entitycontainer:uqsEntities /namespace:uqsModel /language:CSharp /outobjectlayer:"D:/uqsObjectLayer.cs"

in this script I don't write location to write csdl, ssdl and views , but they are generated in C:\\Users\\adminUser in windows Vista and objectLayer generated to D:/uqsObjectLayer.cs . If I use /mode:EntityClassGeneration , this option requires the /incsdl argument and either the /project argument or the /outobjectlayer argument. The /language argument is optional. this option requires the /incsdl argument and either the /project argument or the /outobjectlayer argument. The /language argument is optional.

But I don't want use csdl file. As I understand, edmgen.tool can not create objectlayer without csdl file. Now is there alternate way or tool for generating objectlayer from db?

Answer 1

mode:EntityClassGeneration doesn't generate CSDL; it reads it. You cannot generate source code without reading CSDL, ever (note, though, that the CSDL can be part of an EDMX file).
