Espacio de nombres Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.Extensibility

The Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.Extensibility namespace contains classes that allow you to extend the functionality of the ADO.NET Entity Data Model Tools.

Classes in the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.Extensibility namespace allow you to extend and customize the functionality of the Entity Data Model Designer, the Entity Data Model Wizard, and the Update Wizard. Specifically, the IModelGenerationExtension interface can be used to customize the generation and update processes of .edmx files. The IEntityDesignerExtendedProperty interface can be used to add properties to objects that are defined in .edmx files. The IModelConversionExtension and IModelTransformExtension interfaces can be used to customize the loading and saving of files, including custom file formats.

Nota:
Classes in the Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.Extensibility namespace cannot be used to customize the generation of object-layer code or the generation of data description language (DDL). For more information, see How to: Customize Object-Layer Code Generation and How to: Customize Database Generation.
