Insidelogic > Blog - Create DTO (Data transfer objects) from an Entity Framework edmx file

custom software and consulting

using the latest Microsoft technologies

Specialized software and web development

The window used to generate your DTO from allows you to select an edmx file, provide a namespace and generate the code.

No fancy reflection being used here, I simply build up the code in a string and output it in the large text box to copy and paste to your project.

I'm generating VB code here, but the application can of course easily be modified to generate C# code.

The generated code looks as follows:

Namespace DTO

    Public Class Addresses

        Private _ID As Int32
        Private _Addres1 As String
        Private _Addres2 As String
        Private _Addres3 As String
        Private _Addres4 As String
        Private _StreetNumber As String
        Private _PostCode As String
        Private _City As String
        Private _CountryID As Nullable(Of Int32)

        Public Property ID() As Int32
            Get
                Return _ID
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As Int32)
                _ID = value
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Property Addres1() As String
            Get
                Return _Addres1
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As String)
                _Addres1 = value
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Property Addres2() As String
            Get

            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As String)
                _Addres2 = value
            End Set
        End Property

        Public Property Addres3() As String
            Get
                Return _Addres3

            Set(ByVal value As String)
