Developing Microsoft Azure and Web Services — Question 53

You are building an ADO.NET Entity Framework application.
You need to validate the conceptual schema definition language (CSDL), store schema definition language (SSDL), and mapping specification language (MSL) files.
Which Entity Data Model tool can you use? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

Answer options

• A. EDM Generator (EdmGen.exe)
• B. ADO.NET Entity Data Model Designer
• C. Entity Data Model Wizard
• D. Update Model Wizard

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The EDM Generator (EdmGen.exe) and ADO.NET Entity Data Model Designer are both capable of validating the CSDL, SSDL, and MSL files, making them the correct choices. The Entity Data Model Wizard and Update Model Wizard, while useful for other tasks, do not specifically provide validation functionality for these schema definitions.
