Don't like updating DbContext? Use this T4 code gen template #1027

You'll want to clean it up a bit I'm sure, but here's my working solution.

Install the "Auto T4" visual studio extension to trigger a regeneration when you build your solution, and never mess with updating your DbContext again!

<#@ template language="C#" debug="True" #> <#@ output extension="cs" #> <#@ assembly name="System" #> <#@ assembly name="System.Core" #> <#@ assembly name="System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations" #> <#@ assembly name="System.Data" #> <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)Trident.Core\bin\EntityFramework.dll" #> <#@ assembly name="Microsoft.CSharp" #> <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)Trident.Core\bin\Abp.dll" #> <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)Trident.Core\bin\Abp.Zero.dll" #> <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)Trident.Core\bin\Trident.Core.dll" #> <#@ import namespace="System" #> <#@ import namespace="System.Collections.Generic" #> <#@ import namespace="System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema" #> <#@ import namespace="System.Linq" #> <#@ import namespace="System.Text" #> <#@ import namespace="System.Threading.Tasks" #> <#@ import namespace="Trident.Domain" #> <#

var coreAssembly = typeof(Trident.TridentCoreModule).Assembly;
var persistables = 
	coreAssembly.GetExportedTypes()
	.Where(ct =&gt; !ct.IsAbstract)
	.Where(ct => ct.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(TableAttribute), false).Any())
    .OrderBy(ct => ct.Name)
	.Select(ct => new { Type = ct, TableAttribute = (TableAttribute)ct.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(TableAttribute), false).First() })
	.ToArray();

    You can just comment out the model builder stuff that references constants in my other projects.

    This assumes you have configured your projects' build output folder to "bin" instead of "bin\debug" and "bin\release". The reason for that is you don't want it referencing a debug dll if you are building in release to deploy to Azure or something. So I recommend you change your build output paths to "bin".

    But actually it works just fine if you don't, you just need to change the paths to the DLLs at the top.
