Generate the EDMX backing files in Visual Studio 2019

1k Views Asked by At

After modifying an EDMX in Visual Studio 2019, it saves the EDMX properly but does not generate the C# files.

This is a database first functionality, is there a new trick in VS2019 to actually generate the C# files on save?

I was going to write a feedback to Microsoft but the same question is asked on their network. The issue was

VS 2019 Preview2-Preview 4.2 after saving EDMX code is not generated

It is marked as resolved for VS2019 16.1

https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework6/issues/705

It is also mentioned in the bug that you may run the custom tools manually on all the EDMX, and *.tt files to generate your templates. And this works.
