EntityViewGenerator.GenerateViews Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Entity.Design

Assembly:

System.Data.Entity.Design.dll

Generates views at compile time for the extents in a StorageMappingItemCollection, and creates a source code file that makes these views available at run time.

Overloads

GenerateViews(StorageMappingItemCollection, TextWriter)	Generates views at compile time for the extents in a StorageMappingItemCollection. Sends a source code file to a TextWriter to make these views available at run time.
GenerateViews(StorageMappingItemCollection, String)	Generates views at compile time for the extents in a StorageMappingItemCollection. Writes a source code file to a specified location that makes the views available at run time.
GenerateViews(StorageMappingItemCollection, TextWriter, Version)	Generates views at compile time for the extents in a StorageMappingItemCollection. Sends a source code file to a TextWriter to make these views available at run time.

Remarks

By default, views are generated at run time whenever a query or update is performed on an extent. Generating views at compile time can improve application performance by eliminating the expense of generating views at run time.
