Code First Entity Framework Visualization

I was getting tired of adding and generating diagrams over and over again for my code first database.
Usually when I am thinking this, someone else already has too.
So I started poking around and found reference to Entity Framework Power Tools.

Once installed it is a right click away.


Now I can see my database in a visual representation which for me is so much easier.

Galaxy Outlaws Review

I just finished Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions, 1-16.5 It was what I would classify as a good read.  It didn't compel me to read it.  There were a couple of times I found myself not being able to put the book down but I wasn't really compelled to get through quickly.

The characters even talk about how Mort (wizard) bails them out of bad plans but I am saying it is more a get out of jail free card for the story.  Back yo...

Telerik Grid and Dynamic filtering Well let me say this is a tale of solving a problem for an existing system with poor test coverage.  Ok no test coverage.  No I didn't write it.  But yes I have to enhance it.  It isn't badly done code.  I mean there are places it could be improved.  Things I would have done differently.  New shining technologies we could and would use if it is was being done again but all in all it is straight forward and clean.  But it has no working tests, no comments.  I want to modify this code with minimal changes to minimize my risk and move on to more interesting things.  Oh did I mention the front end is built around Telerik.  You either love them or hate them.  For me it just depends on the problem but I usually just avoid them. Nice term what does it mean.... A grid with filtering drop downs: We want the filter drop downs with no selected filter value to filter the available option...
