I have an Oracle database and am using the Devart dotConnect drivers.
The EDMX file has the following type defined: 
<EntityType Name="DEAL">

  <Key>

    <PropertyRef Name="DEAL_ID" />

  </Key>

  <Property Name="DEAL_ID" Type="int64" Nullable="false" StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" />

  <Property Name="DATE_ENTERED" Type="DATE" Nullable="false" />

  <Property Name="CONTACT_OTHER" Type="VARCHAR2" MaxLength="50" />

<EntityType Name="Deal">

  <Key>

    <PropertyRef Name="DealId" />

  </Key>

  <Property Name="DealId" Type="Int64" Nullable="false" ib:BindableMode="OneWay" ib:DisplayName="Deal Id" />

  <Property Name="DateEntered" Type="DateTime" Nullable="false" />

  <Property Name="ContactOther" Type="String" />

<MappingFragment StoreEntitySet="DEALs">

  <ScalarProperty Name="DealId" ColumnName="DEAL_ID" />

  <ScalarProperty Name="DateEntered" ColumnName="DATE_ENTERED" />

  <ScalarProperty Name="ContactOther" ColumnName="CONTACT_OTHER" />


Notice the last field, CONTACT_OTHER has a MaxLength of 50. However, the Object Mapper is not picking it up and a corresponding verifier is not being created: 

#region ContactOther



/// <summary>Gets or sets the ContactOther.</summary>

[IbUtil.DBDataType(typeof(String))]

public String ContactOther {

   get { return ContactOtherEntityProperty.GetValue(this); }

   [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode]

   set { ContactOtherEntityProperty.SetValue(this, value); }

}

#endregion ContactOther


Why is this happening? How can I fix this? I would like to have the verifier's so the UI can work properly. Thanks!

Did this get lost in the shuffle? Has anyone had a chance to figure out why this is happening?

The Object Mapper only looks at the conceptual model - the CSDL section of the EDMX.  In your model the MaxLength attribute has not been carried through from the storage model (SSDL) to the conceptual model.  Check with Devart for product updates.

Devart has updated their Oracle driver and the 5.25.42 version now copies the MaxLength from the Storage model to the Conceptual model, where IdeaBlade can pick it up.
