ADO.NET Unit Testable Repository Generator

Generates a strongly-typed Object Context and POCO Entities from your EDMX file. Additionally a Repository and an abstract Unit Test for the Repository is created (with a mock for the ObjectContext and mock for the ObjectSets).

The "ADO.NET C# POCO Entity Generator" was originally developed by Microsoft.
It was forked by Rab Hallett under the name "ADO.NET Mocking Context Generator" (blogofrab.blogspot.com).

This extension is a new fork by Johannes Hoppe.

With this download you will get a complete solution:

• all functionalities of the ADO.NET C# POCO Entity Generator, which includes:
  • a compatible ObjectContext (replaces the “Entities-Class”)
  • all entity types as POCOs (Plain Old CLR Objects)
• as well as:
  • an Interface for the ObjectContext
  • a mock of the ObjectContext (provides access to ObjectSets)
  • a mock that implements IObjectSet (stores data)
  • a partial Repository class
  • an abstract Unit Test class
  • optional: support for Microsoft Unity *
  • optional: equality members for the POCOs (Equals and GetHashCode) **

* Use the preprocessor definition “DO_NOT_USE_UNITY”, if you do not want to utilize the Unity-Framework.
** Some people might prefer the POCOs completely plain. For that case you should define the directive “DO_NOT_INCLUDE_ EQUALITY_MEMBERS”.
