Forward-Mapping not generating tables

[Jorge Fernandez]

Hi all,

I think I'm missing some step in the Forward-Mapping approach I wanna do. I create a simple class

 [Persistent()]
    public class Employee
    {
        public int EmployeeId
        {
            get; set;
        }
    }

and by using the Wizard I'm not able to get the corresponding table created in the db. Not even the EmployeeId property is shown in the Fetch Group tab neither in the left tree. I want to create my business objects using a Class Diagram and then generate the db with Forward-Mapping. Have anyone faced this problem before? How can I fix this and get my table generated?

Thanks,

Jorge

Hello Jorge Fernandez,

Please make sure that in the Forward mapping wizard for each persistent class the Create/Update Table option is enabled as shown on the screenshot below:


You should also verify that the Update Database property of the project is set to true.

It is important to know that currently there is a limitation in the wizard when you use auto properties - the field settings are not available. Please switch to explicitly defined private fields/ public properties in order to get the full functionality.

All the best,
