Visual Studio 2010 show dbml file of linq to sql mapping as a class diagram. Is there a way to view all mapped tables/views as a list?? I have a lot of tables and for view if a table already is mapped have to find it in a too big graphic diagram!!!
When you open the designer and view the Properties window (press F4) there's a combo box at the top of the Properties window. This box contains all the objects that are on the designer - the entities (tables and views), the associations (the foreign keys and joins), and the datacontext itself.
If you select an item from the combo box, the corresponding item will be selected on the designer.

I have the following table in SSAS tabular using visual studio.
I would like to find out what source table Customer name uses as it seems to be using a wrong table, but I can't figure out how to find out which table it uses from.

View the properties window. To display this, highlight the table in SSDT then go to View > Properties Window or press F4. After this, find the Source Data field and click the ellipsis next to it. This will open a window that will display either the source table/view, stored procedure EXEC statement, or SQL command that the table is derived from.
I've been busy with this for two days, and I can't get any further on it.
I have a Dropdown-box/Combobox (not sure what it's called) in Microsoft Silverlight, and my editor is Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The Dropdown-box has to be alphabetically ordered, but I do not know where to find the source. This is what I do know:
If I select the Dropdown box in the Designer, I can see that the
Data Binding is called "par_Customer(item)".
On the left side of the Designer is a list of tables, including the
par_Customer table.
Almost all tables have the text "Edit Query" next to them, and by
clicking on that the program opens a query editor with the right
query in it.
The table I need, "par_Customer", does not have the text "Edit
Query" on it.
When I right-click on the table, I get the options to Delete or Edit
the table.
When I click Edit, I see a list of all the attributes (columns) of
that table and its relationships, yet no query or anything
The Dropdown box is not filled by code.
What I would like to know: where do I find the source of this dropdown box? Where is it "filled"?
I would really appreciate any help or input on this problem, since I have no idea where to look any information will be of value.
I wanted to ask if there is a way to ONLY add new tables to the edmx file without updating (refreshing) or deleting the existing table?
Sure, If you right click on your EDMX model diagram. You can select update model from database. A dialogue box will pup up. The dialogue box has tabs up at the top one of them is add. From there expand the table menu and select the tables you want to add.
Update 11/08/2014
In this example Deleted table no longer exists in the Database. Open up your EDMX file. Right click in the white space around your tables and select Update Model from Database.
A dialogue box will pop up. Under the add tab expand tables and select only the tables you want to add. and click finish.
And you're done. Both tables still exist in your EDMX file.
I need to model database in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler.
I have to create ARC relationship (XOR), but I don't know how.
I have found checkbox "In Arc" in Foreign Keys properties, but it is disable (grey). I don't see any other options, which pertain to Arc.
You need to select the relationship lines in the diagram, and then hit the 'New Arc' button on the main toolbar.
From the help:
"To create an arc, do so after creating all the relationships to be included. Select the entity box, select all relationship lines to be included (hold Shift and click each line), and click the New Arc button in the toolbar."
This is not an issue with a few tables, but when I have a ton of tables on my dbml diagram, I have to pan and zoom to find the table I am looking for. Is there a way to search the dbml diagram so it automatically goes to the table I searched for?
You can also use the dropdown in the properties pane to list all the objects in the dbml. Selecting one from the list jumps you to that object in the diagram.
Not perfect but at least its in alphabetical order!
If you go to the Designer View you can reach your tables through the usual Method name drop down or searching for the partial classes within the designer.cs. But that's pretty much it.
I created an AddIns to provide a Search in Diagram for L2S and Entity Framework (VS2008/2010).
