If you use my free tools, I would be very grateful for a rating or review here

Getting started

The EF Core Power Tools contains DbContext design time feature: Reverse Engineering, Model inspection and more to come - see the wiki page for more information. .NET Framework 4.7.1 or later is required. For EF Core 3 reverse engineering, .NET Core 3 must be installed.

Release

Download the latest version of the Visual Studio extension from Visual Studio MarketPlace

Or just install from Tools, Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio!

Daily build

You can download the daily build from VSIX Gallery

Ensure you always have the latest daily build (if you are brave) by installing this extension

If you encounter a bug or have a feature request, please use the Issue Tracker

To build and debug, run latest version of Visual Studio with the "Visual Studio extension development workload" installed - as Administrator. Make EFCorePowerTools the startup project, and ensure your build configuration is Debug, x86 (not AnyCPU).
