Nettiers and tables that refuse to generate an entity

June 22nd, 2011

If you use Codesmith/Nettiers (recommended) you might have stumbled upon:

You set up the Nettiers project in Codesmith and mark all tables.

When you generate the code one or more entities are missing.  There is no error message.

Besides the entity/entities not showing up you see it in the SourceTables property of nettiers.  When you started the template all were marked.  When the template was finished one/more table/s were not marked any more.

Reason: the tables are missing a primary key.

I have spent hours on this before.  I did it again.  Hopefully this post will make me, and others, spend less time on this issue.
