Description Tom Mutdosch CLA 2007-02-08 14:15:06 EST 
In addition to the default constructors, it might be nice to be able to generate a constructor that takes in the primary key values since they always need set anyway. Also helpful could be a constructor that takes in all values for required non-null columns.  These are just 'niceties', but I think they can really help the user experience.  What's the first thing you need to do when creating a new instance of an Entity?  Set the primary key.  It'd be nice to just see it in the context assist for the constructor; then you don't even need to look at the entity to see what the primary key is - you could tell just by what argument(s) the constructor takes in.
