I want to update my ADO.NET Entities Framework Model from the database, but I cannot find the Entity Model Browser Window. There is an example of how to update my model here, but I cannot find how to open the model browser. Could someone please tell me exactly how to open it using Visual Studio 2010?
I tried finding it through the view menu, and I do not get any valid options when right-clicking on the .edmx file.
First, open up the EDMX file. Then, in main menu select View > Other Windows > Entity Data Model Browser (it usually opens in the same panel as Solution explorer).
For me, the sequence was:
Double-click the .edmx file
Right click any white space in the opened diagram
Click Model Browser in the context menu that appears
Happy coding, all. :-)
Double click the edmx file in the Solution Explorer to bring up the Designer. The Model Browser should appear.
In my workspace it shows up in the same tab grouping as the Solution Explorer.

I have the EMF model and created the Sirius project for that EMF model. When I run the application and select the created view point I get the diagram editor to drag and drop the features of the model to the editor and I save it. But when I tried to reload the application I get cannot load the part control exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.internal.experimental.sync.DDiagramSynchronizer.getAllMandatoriesAdditionalLayers(DDiagramSynchronizer.java:328)
Any solution for this problem? Thanks in advance
I have two laptops and on one of them in Eclipse I was able to add a type hierarchy that shows class members, etc. directly under the opened files (or whatever you call the tabs that are right about the red box in my image). I have no idea how to do this though, anyone have any suggestions?
Also, on a related note, when I do just open the type hierarchy it always requires that I open it given the context of the current opened .java file. On my other laptop it's sort of dynamic and allows me to explore the type hierarchy of whatever file I'm viewing. I want it all to work like how it is in Microsoft Visual Studio.
I think you mean the breadcrumb - Navigate > Show in Breadcrumb
I havent yet found a way to view GWT designer mode. I have installed gwt sdk, gwt designer and window builder on eclipse 4.2. View my installation details:
I Can open a java file using window builder but cant see the source and design tabs at the bottom:
Somebody help me figure out how to access designer mode.
right click on the file and select open in designer
Right click on your uibinder file (ui.xml). Then select windowbuilder. You may need to click "other" and then select windowbuilder from the list.
Turns out its a bug and i was able to access designer mode by clicking switching between to a different layout under Google > Web Toolkit > Designer preferences
Thanks for providing answers guys :)
i am making an eclipse plugin which make a ui on right clicking a project in eclipse workspce . the ui contains text fields , package explorer for the current project and directory explorer for current project.
i have successfully made a ui which appears on clicking a menu item on right clicking the project but it seems i can't make any jface or swt ui since they are not visible when we are using eclipse command hadlers .so in order to overcome it i made dialog pages but they have limited dialog like directorty dialog and file dialog and that too for entire window directory..... but i want package explorer and directory explorer for the project i just chose like it happens when u try making a new class in a project the browse buttons just show packages and directory struture w.r.t to current selection
am i doin things wrong or is there a way out please suggest .....
It seems a bit unclear to me, what the 'UI' is about. If you plan to embed the package and directory views inside a dialog next to each other, then I think you have to build similar lists on your own, since they are views with their own event logic. But if you plan to use them via the browse buttons as describes, take a look at this page. It gives a good overview of the available selection dialogs in eclipse.
It is also always a good practice to search for code in eclipse that does nearly the same you want to do.
As an example, take a look at the new class wizard from the jdt.ui plug-in (This is the wizard you mentioned in your question): Press Cmd-Shift-T and begin typing 'newclass' and open NewClassWizardPage from org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards. This works as expected if you imported all jdt plug-ins as (binary) projects.
Take a look at the createControl method and dive into the createXXXControls methods via F3 and try to find out how JDT is doing the job.
As an alternative, open the desired selection dialog class (again with Cmd-Shift-T) and open the call hierarchy of that class...
All of the various postings, when speaking of Setup projects in vs2005, simply say "the properties are there" and/or "In Studio, I just click on the project name in the Explorer and I get the property window typical to other projects, and it's right there." BUT I DON'T!! I get a very limited list of properties (Output file name, Package files (as):, Compression, and URL. That's it! You can't believe how frustrating this is! I'm assuming it's something simply I'm (not) doing. PLEASE HELP. How do I get access to the miriad of Setup Properties???
Highlight your project and hit F4. That's the properties pane. Right click and select Properties for the project properties dialog.
The F4 key is mapped to display the Setup Properties pane if the keyboard is set up as C#. If your default keyboard layout is C++, F4 does nothing.
