We are making our code generation architecture much more user friendly for those that would like to write custom templates, Here is an example of the changes we are making.

Old Way: (where “col” is an IColumn such as when you are looping through all of the columns in a table or view)

<%= esMeta.esPlugIn.PropertyName(col) %>

New Way:

<%= col.PropertyName %>

The old way still works of course. We will be using this new approach in our templates, it sure makes the templates easier to read and understand. The PropertyName property is still driven by your choices in the EntitySpaces “Settings” tab. We will be doing this for about 30 or 40 such “things” including the EntityName, CollectionName, ParameterName, QueryName, ProxyName, and so on in our code generation engine. We are making these changes to encourage more customer driven template development to accommodate our soon to come online template sharing library as well as making our own template development easier. Of course, there will be a help file available as well.
