Please do not run Product Update after applying the patch. Otherwise the update will replace the patch with the previous version (I will inform you to run the update when the next release is ready)
Thanks for the patch. It works better than before, but not fully yet. There is still a number of nasty bugs there. The most obvious one is that when I copy an ORM persistable superclass, the inheritance strategy changes from “Table per subclass” to “Table per class hierarchy”.
I can not report all other errors, because reproducing them and making a clean description takes a lot of time. And frankly, I feel misused. I have an impression that you are using me as a beta tester. Actually, I expect a kind of a reward. And “thank you” is not enough! What would you say if you give me free updates for the next year? (I am serious about it. I think you can really benefit from my testing. And there is even more to it. We also enhance DDL and C# code generated by VP with some features like data auditing, optimistic concurrency, data versioning as well as with support for WCF of .NET 3. Maybe there is a chance of combining our efforts).
Though we appreciate your help, it is not our policy to offer free updates to users who report bugs to us. Frankly, we didn’t meant to treat our users as tester, indeed. If users are willing to report any bugs or propose any suggestion, we are very welcome, and appreciate.
Everytime we received a bug report from user, we will thoroughly review our testing procedures to make sure similar kind of problem will not occur again. What we can provide is a promise to provide prompt reaction (response and fix) to the reported problem.
So let’s go back to the problem of copying ORM persistable superclass. I will ask our team to fix, and then let you know.
With regards to your suggestions on .NET ORM, I will forward to our team for further studies. We are eager to improve our ORM support, trust me.
