Is anyone aware of an Object Manager Enterprise plugin for Visual Studio 2010?


I'm using DB4O on a new project I'm playing with and it would help me no end if I was able to use the Object Manager Enterprise utility. I understand it's only available as a VS plugin, so does anyone know whether such a plugin is / will be available for Visual Studio 2010, or is there another way to get the utility?


Solution

  • Currently there's no Object Manager version available for Visual Studio 2010. =(

    A few suggestions for alternatives:

    • When you still have Visual Studio 2008 or 2005 installed, you can use the existing Object Manager for these versions.

    • You can use LINQPad for db4o as suggested here on SO. However this only works together when you load your domain model into LINQPad

    • You could use the Object Manager plugin for Eclipse. This version is distributed with the Java-version of db4o. So you need to download Eclipse and the java-db4o distribution. However this version of the Object Manager doesn't fully understand the .NET types, so some object are correctly displayed.
