The ORM Foundation

To set the role names, you can click on the individual role (not the fact type), and set the Name property.

1) You can drag Object Types and Fact Types onto a diagram page from the ORM Model Browser window (which I believe we display near the Solution Explorer window by default). 2) Unfortunately, cross-model / external references is something that we do not yet support. We do consider it a relatively high priority, and hope to have this kind of ...

Hi Joe, welcome to the community :-) To start off with, I would recommend trying some of the walkthrough labs available from our ''Documentation'' release at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158881&package_id=178202&release_id=409661. In addition, if you have any questions, we would be happy to answer ...

This is something that we are actively looking into. We will hopefully have a version that works with Visual Studio 2008 available soon.

Oops, you're right, I forgot to provide an answer to the printing part of the question. Unfortunately, the answer (currently) is that we only support printing the current page. We pick up the printing support more or less for free from DSL Tools, whereas the multi-page models is all our own code. Because of this, the printing support doesn't ...

You can currently use the Model Browser (if it is not showing, right click on an ORM diagram, select ORM Tool Windows, then ORM Model Browser) to drag and drop individual model elements onto a diagram / page. We will be adding the ability to select multiple elements fom the Model Browser and drag them all on at once in the future. For now, the ...

OK, the problem appears to be that the model itself doesn't have a name. We use the model name as the basis of the SQL SCHEMA name. Once I added a model name through the Properties window while the diagram was selected (i.e. just click on the white ''background'' outside of any fact types, object types, etc.), everything appears to have ...

If you send me the original ORM file, I can try to debug this for you and get you a fix for it. You should be able to send it as an e-mail attachment to my SourceForge e-mail address (kevinowen {AT} users {DOT} sourceforge {DOT} net).

Sorry about the issues you've been running into. The solution for this one is relatively simply: give one or both of the roles a role name. Our current behavior when a role doesn't have a role name specified is to use the name of the object type that plays that role instead. This obviously has the drawback of causing duplicate names when you ...

Please accept our apologies; those instructions are very out of date. You no longer need to edit the project file by hand to get our generators working. Instead, you can just make a regular project (C# or VB), and add an ORM model to it. When you click on the file for that ORM model in the Solution Explorer, you should see an entry for ...
