Install Entity Framework Power Tools and vs2015entity in VS2015

Entity Framework Power Tools is a tool provided by the EntityFramework Development Team. It can generate a Fluent Code First Code from an existing database.

I was so excited that I had installed win10 and VS2015 of the Professional Edition. I was so stupid when I was preparing to install Entity Framework Power Tools (EF for short). I did not search for it, baidu once discovered that VS2015 does not support EF,

Continue to find that some tutorials can solve the problem. You can simply modify the installation package so that it can be installed on 2015. The specific implementation method is as follows:

Download the extension installation package officially. It is a file with the extension vsix.

Change the file extension to zip. Use the decompression software to open and edit the extension. vsixmanifest file,

<VisualStudio Version = "12.0"> <Edition> Pro </Edition> </VisualStudio>

Copy a section later and change "12.0" to "14.0"

<VisualStudio Version = "14.0"> <Edition> Pro </Edition> </VisualStudio>

 

 

Close the Save changes, change the extension to vsix, and double-click the installation to ignore the invalid signature prompt.

Re-open VS to use EF Power Tools.
