我玩弄实体框架4.3，所以我现在用的的DbContext生成器来创建上下文和实体类。

I'm playing around with Entity Framework 4.3, and so I am using the DbContext Generator to create the context and entity classes.

使用默认EF 4 code生成模板，实体类实现INotifyPropertyChanged，并添加修改和更改的属性setter方法​​部分。

With the default EF 4 code generator template, entity classes implement INotifyPropertyChanged, and also add Changing and Changed partial methods in property setters.

当我使用EF 4.x版的DbContext发生器，如下图所示，实体类是轻得多，而且不包括跟踪属性更改的任何手段。

When I use the EF 4.x DbContext generator, as pictured below, the entity classes are much lighter, and do not include any means of tracking property changes.

下面是一个例子：

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <auto-generated>
//    This code was generated from a template.
//
//    Manual changes to this file may cause unexpected behavior in your application.
//    Manual changes to this file will be overwritten if the code is regenerated.
// </auto-generated>
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace SomeNamespace
{
    public partial class SomeTable
    {
        public SomeTable()
        {
            this.Children = new HashSet<Child>();
        }

        public long parent_id { get; set; }
        public long id { get; set; }
        public string filename { get; set; }
        public byte[] file_blob { get; set; }

        public virtual Parent Parent { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<Child> Children { get; set; }
    }
}

我必须失去拼图的一个重要组成部分，但我的搜索已经无果而终。所以我的问题是：我怎么能已经生成的类型包括属性更改通知与EF 4.3

I must be missing an important piece of the puzzle, but my searches have been fruitless. So my question is: how can I have generated types included property change notifications with EF 4.3?

修改

我完全同意@derape答案的;但我很好奇，为什么我需要改变 .TT 文件时，EF 4默认code生成模板的已的有挂钩。我的意思是什么时候绑定到一个WPF 的DependencyProperty ？如果没有INotifyPropertyChanged的，由命令一堆特性的一组对象所作的更改将不会反映在用户界面中。我在想什么？

I fully agree with @derape answer's; but I am curious as to why I would need to change the .tt file when the EF 4 default code generation template already has the hooks. I mean what about when binding to a WPF DependencyProperty'? Without INotifyPropertyChanged, changes done by a command to a bunch of properties in a bunch of objects won't be reflected in the UI. What am I missing?

推荐答案

我最近偶然发现了这个问题，我编辑我的Entity.tt实现下列变化，快速更新，但伟大工程。

I recently stumbled upon this problem, i edited my Entity.tt to implement the following changes, a quick patch but works great..

添加以下到codeStringGenerator类

public string EntityClassOpening(EntityType entity)
{
    return string.Format(
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        "{0} {1}partial class {2}{3} : {4}",
        Accessibility.ForType(entity),
        _code.SpaceAfter(_code.AbstractOption(entity)),
        _code.Escape(entity),
        _code.StringBefore(" : ", _typeMapper.GetTypeName(entity.BaseType)),
        "INotifyPropertyChanged");
}


public string Property(EdmProperty edmProperty)
{
    return string.Format(
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        "{0} {1} {2} {{ {3}{6} {4}{5} }}",
        Accessibility.ForProperty(edmProperty),
        _typeMapper.GetTypeName(edmProperty.TypeUsage),
        _code.Escape(edmProperty),
        _code.SpaceAfter(Accessibility.ForGetter(edmProperty)),
        _code.SpaceAfter(Accessibility.ForSetter(edmProperty)),
        "set { _"+_code.Escape(edmProperty).ToLower()+" = value; OnPropertyChanged(""+_code.Escape(edmProperty)+"");}",
        "get { return _"+_code.Escape(edmProperty).ToLower()+"; }");

}
public string Private(EdmProperty edmProperty) {
    return string.Format(
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
        "{0} {1} _{2};",
        "private",
        _typeMapper.GetTypeName(edmProperty.TypeUsage),
        _code.Escape(edmProperty).ToLower());

}

添加以下到发电机

using System.ComponentModel;
<#=codeStringGenerator.EntityClassOpening(entity)#>
{
<#
var propertiesWithDefaultValues = typeMapper.GetPropertiesWithDefaultValues(entity);
var collectionNavigationProperties = typeMapper.GetCollectionNavigationProperties(entity);
var complexProperties = typeMapper.GetComplexProperties(entity);
#>

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
        PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
        if (handler != null) handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}

而ABIT进一步回落

foreach (var edmProperty in simpleProperties)
{
#>
<#=codeStringGenerator.Private(edmProperty)#>
    <#=codeStringGenerator.Property(edmProperty)#>
<#
}


foreach(var complexProperty in complexProperties)
{
#>
<#=codeStringGenerator.Private(complexProperty)#>
    <#=codeStringGenerator.Property(complexProperty)#>
<#
}
