Visual Studio Support (DDEX)
原文 VS2012,VS2013,and VS2015Pro+NpgsqlDdexProvider+EFv6 how to(by @kenjiuno)
Reference: #213
Overview
- Install Npgsql DDEX (Data Designer Extensibility) provider.
- Install Npgsql ADO.NET Data Provider.
- Visual Studio’s Entity Data Model wizard will be enabled for PostgreSQL servers.
Prerequisites
Visual Studio 2015 users:
- Visual Studio 2015 Professional or greater editions. Express edition won’t work.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 is available.
Visual Studio 2013 users:
- Visual Studio 2013 Professional Update 2 or greater editions. Express edition won’t work.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 is available.
Visual Studio 2012 users:
- Visual Studio 2012 Professional or greater editions. Express edition won’t work.
- Visual Studio 2012 Update 5 is available.
PostgreSQL server installed:
- Tested on PostgreSQL 9.3.4 (win-x64)
Install DDEX provider (Npgsql 3.0.x)
- Grab Setup_NpgsqlDdexProvider.exe from https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/releases and run it.
- Select all components to install.
Note: The version among Npgsql, EntityFramework6.Npgsql and NpgsqlDdexProvider must be same. For example, if you select Npgsql 3.0.5, it needs EntityFramework6.Npgsql 3.0.5. Also NpgsqlDdexProvider 3.0.5.
Install Npgsql ADO.NET Data Provider to Visual Studio (Npgsql 3.0.x)
- Launch Visual Studio.
- Open [TOOL] menu, and then click [Setup Npgsql DbProviderFactories…]
- Click [OK], 2 times.
- Restart Visual Studio.
It asks permission to modify your devenv.exe.config:
This process will add the Npgsql in devenv.exe.config:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
...
<remove invariant="Npgsql" />
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" description=".Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
Setup succeeded.
Note: It will be prompted if administrative privilege is required to modify your devenv.exe.config.
Prepare new project for testing
- Launch Visual Studio.
- [FILE]→[New]→[Project…]
- [Console Application]
- Name is [testef] for example.
Install Npgsql for Entity Framework 6 (3.0.x) from NuGet
- Right click project [testef]
- [Managet NuGet Packages…]
- Type “Npgsql” at [Search Online (Ctrl+E)]
- Install “Npgsql for Entity Framework 6” (EntityFramework6.Npgsql). Version is 3.0.5 for now.
- EntityFramework 6.0.0 and Npgsql are also installed as part of its dependency.
Notice: The assembly versions of Npgsql and NpgsqlDdexProvider must be same. If, for some reason, you need to install a version which isn’t the latest one from NuGet, you need to use the following command in the NuGet Package Manager Console:
Install-Package EntityFramework6.Npgsql -Version <version>
where <version>
is the version you want to install. A list of versions available can be found in the NuGet Npgsql page: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Npgsql/
Add Npgsql EFv6 provider
Notice: Recent EntityFramework6.Npgsql NuGet package automatically does this process.
- Open [App.config], or [Web.config] for web projects.
- Add provider-element into providers-element:
<provider invariantName="Npgsql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, EntityFramework6.Npgsql" />
An App.config having Npgsql EFv6 privoder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
<provider invariantName="Npgsql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, EntityFramework6.Npgsql" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
</configuration>
Add Npgsql ADO.NET Data Provider
You need to declare the Npgsql ADO.NET Data Provider. Edit one of following config files:
App.config
orWeb.config
machine.config
If you are using NuGet for your application, we recommend to edit: App.config or Web.config
machine.config are placed in these locations. Framework64 will exist on 64-bit Windows:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
This is needed part of App.config:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="Npgsql"/>
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider"
invariant="Npgsql"
description=".Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL"
type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7"
support="FF" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
Note: <remove invariant="Npgsql"/>
is important, in case of already having <add invariant="Npgsql" ... />
in machine.config.
Edited App.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 -->
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
<providers>
<provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
<provider invariantName="Npgsql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, EntityFramework6.Npgsql" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="Npgsql"/>
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider"
invariant="Npgsql"
description=".Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL"
type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7"
support="FF" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
</configuration>
Build once
- Build your project.
New ADO.NET Entity Data Model
- Right click project [testef]
- [Add]→[New Item…]
- [ADO.NET Entity Data Model]
- Default name [Model1] for example.
- Click [Add]
- [EF Designer from database] at Choose Model Contents.
- [New Connection] at Choose Your Data Connection.
- [PostgreSQL Database] at Change Data Source.
- Fill properties in Connection Properties. It is easy to fill everything by setting [ConnectionString].
My sample ConnectionString:
Host=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;Database=npgsql_tests;Username=npgsql_tests;Password=npgsql_tests
Note: PreloadReader and Compatible properies are obsoleted since Npgsql 3.0.0. Please remove them before submitting ConnectionString.
Select [Yes, include the sensitive data in the connection string.] in this case for easy setup.
Select tables which you want, at Choose Your Database Objects and Settings.
Note: remember the text npgsql_tests_efModel at [Model Namespace].
Click OK for Security Warning. T4 Templates generator warns you as it contains just runnable C# code.
You will get a generated model.
Edit your program.cs
Just my sample code for npgsql_tests_ef database.
About the name of “npgsql_tests_efEntities” class, check your [Model Namespace] entered above. Replace “Model” with “Entities”, like it is “npgsql_tests_efModel”.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace testef
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (npgsql_tests_efEntities Context = new npgsql_tests_efEntities())
{
foreach (Blogs blog in Context.Blogs)
{
Console.WriteLine(blog.BlogId + " " + blog.Name);
}
}
}
}
}

How to debug Npgsql DDEX extension
In order to debug it, you will need to use the Experimental Instance of Visual Studio.
- In the NpgsqlDdex project, right click and select properties.
- Go to Debug tab
- Click on the radio button for Start External Program. Point it to the devenv.exe binary. On my machine it’s located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
Then set the command line arguments to /rootsuffix Exp
Save everything and now, just right click the NpgsqlDdex project -> Debug -> Run in a new instance. A new Visual Studio instance should be run where the extension will be made available and you can debug it in the first visual studio instance.
